Fork me that was hard work!

15 Hackney GoodGymers ran 6k and shifted 5 tonnes of the toughest mulch known to man!

On the penultimate Group run of 2018 we welcomed a great squad to the Bakehouse including a GG newbie and a milestone huntress on 98!!

Next week is the last Group Run of the year plus Christmas (optional) fancy dress social post run all information here.

Zipping up the road towards Stoke Newington lead by Amy getting us warm with a solid pace up to Abney.

3k down and we had met up with park ranger Quentin where we armed ourselves with barrows, shovels, spot lights and gloves and marched up to the Oldest pile of multichannel in London (probably not).

To make space for a huge new year drop of the amazing crushed concrete we had to fork, loosen, shovel, barrow and tip and heavy compressed, watered and tough mulch pile.

Working as the great team we are we got into a precise flow with lots more diggers, forkers needed due to the heavy and packed down mulch. Hitting our strides we reinforced 50 metres of path for the winter weather to allow the beautiful, historic and enchanting Abney Park Cemetery useable through the Winter to minimise the mud. Plus protect all the vegetation and graves which line the foot paths.

With one of the toughest 45 minutes of graft of the year in the bag we packed our kit away and dashed back 3k to base at great speed!!

Great to have you all along

See you next week
