Trolley Good Fellows

Eleven massive legends met for an evenings jog and a good deed last night. For the first time this year it was actually light outside - what a treat!

Our task was for Crystal Palace Museum. We’ve been working our way around a derelict water tower base which has some amazing history and heck of a lot of soil, twigs and rubble to sort through. The plan is for it to one day become an accessible part of the museum where people can find out about the old Crystal Palace!

First up however, we met at the Bridge House. We were joined by Steve who works for Community Links Bromley. They recently arranged for some funding to get older people visits as GoodGym missions in our borough - cool! Steve's a keen runner, so it was great to have him along.

After a warm up in the park, we split into three groups, walking, a light jog and a longer jog. Hannah managed to get some snaps of us in action and we all arrived at the museum at almost the same time...

Statue Beat-you

My team arrived first and we were greeted by a load of old, mostly deformed statues so naturally we got a quick pic.

When everyone arrived, we grabbed a load of tools and headed inside. It was the same job as usual but with so many of us, we managed to cover the whole space. We dug down to the concrete floor, Cat chopped up a sizeable root, we used a trolley sieve to sift the debris from the soil and then bagged it up to take outside. The space was looking noticeably clearer when we left. 💪

On our way back we had a game of squat, paper, scissors which it turns out Alex is an expert in. Now he has thighs of steel.

Top work everyone!
