10 Hackney GoodGymers ran 6.5k to Hackney Wick Community Garden to help get the garden inline with some Health and safety directives.

Happily the rain parted for the run to allow a lovely Summers run down to the beautiful River Lea!

Huge GG Tuesday for Dharmesh a superb ** GoodDeed Hat trick!!!** Mayors Run, Mission and Group Run in an action packed Running and volunteering Tuesday. Well played sir!!

Big Shout Out for a ** Community Mission in Stoke Newington This Evening!!** sign up here to keep the plants watered and Clair company!!

After a visit from Hackney Councils chief gardener who was very impressed with the amazing efforts that have gone into the garden a few points to increase accessibility were raised and we were here to deliver.

Shovelling back some a gravelly mound to widen the path as well as moving brown bins to the 2nd garden and rehousing the wood store and wood in it so that the path from front to back gate was easy to use for Children from the adjoining school who are unable to use stairs to get to the Copper Box area.

With all the jobs complete we had time for a biscuit or 2 as well as a orange cordial shot of energy before we ran off back to base through the amazing Victoria Park!

See you next week for our run to Abney Park!!
