Downham Out

Today we welcomed three first timers to GG Bromley. Welcome to Rhea, Tony and Stania joining us for the very first time along with Simon & Sarah.

Our destination for the evening was Bromley and Downham Youth Club to help clear a couple of boxes of weeds. What is a weed? It's anything you want it to be. Among other herbs we found ourselves removing sage (sniff), rosemary (sniff) to make way for other plants.

Despte some stubborn roots we were pretty quick and had time to have a good old weed of the entrace outside the centre as well. Then Stania (chief Bromley sweeper) showed us how to handle a broom and made everything spick and span before we headed off.

On the way home we played secret surges and then worked on some hill techniques: be tall, get those legs turning over quickly and use the arms. Then back at base with a few minutes to spare we had a go at a "four-repetition revolving continuous three-person relay" where during each repetition one person sat out and assessed the others' technical prowess.

A little stretch and we were all done.

Beautiful! We are heading to Scadbury Park next week (longer run - rest those legs) to shift some logs (heavy - bring those muscles).

See you there,
Simon
