Bramble Scramble!

3 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Camden.

Ms N asked Goodgym for some help in tidying her garden, and three intrepid Goodgymmers set out from the Camden weekly Group Run to help out.

Super Subs

Huge thanks and round of applause goes to Rosie and Imogen, who stepped in to help at the last minute and made sure the mission could go ahead with Steve.

Ms N has a ground level flat with a huge garden out back and a smaller front garden, which she now can’t properly look after. particularly now that we are in the darker months, we were relieved that this task in the moonlight was in the smaller front garden!

Ms N is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and introduced us to her charming cat which she says adopted her several years ago. Sweet. After a quick chat to share a little about ourselves, we set to work with some shiny new tools Ms N had kindly provided.

Head Torches This Season’s Must-Have Fashion Accessory

Taming the front garden was made much less challenging with a couple of head torches and the flash from Steve’s camera phone to capture the great work clearing, cutting, trimming and tidying. Photographer’s note: Rosie’s eyes caught the flash a couple of times and unless she’s hiding a superhero ability they are not normally like that!

Ms N was delighted with the help and hopes to see some Goodgymmers again soon.

Imogen, Rosie and Steve headed back to regroup with the incredibly soggy Camden Group Runners who were caught in a downpour, and warmed up in the pub.
