Hackney

Mission

Syrup of Digs

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.

  • John Shirley
  • Dave Mansfield
 
Saturday, 1st of July 2017

It was slightly cool, overcast Saturday morning. Perfect running weather. John and David both decided to give Hackney Marshes Parkrun a go before this mission, and both smashed out a year's best run!

The task involved shifting a serious amount of leaves off a slope, levelling a bit of ground to improve storage, and moving that soil to help prepare for a second row tomato plants.

Appropriately enough for John's hundredth run, we found a buried hundred year old bottle of Calific Syrup of Figs!
