Last night saw us back at the Weir Link to help spruce the place up in advance of their fun day on Saturday.

We were joined by Fi for her second GG session and first Group Run which was lovely - it was great to have you woth us!

It's just over 3km from Papa's to Clapham so we set off with just Louise, AA Yianny and Fi and made quick work of the steady climb out of Brixton basin. Lots of GGers were meeting us at the task this evening including our resident walker Paul and locals Kaz and Sarah.

Lizzy had left us some hand tools and a green waste bag and to begin with it looked like there wasn't that much to do however as we got started it became apparent that just clearing the main area was the goal and the border would have to continue another time.

Talk while working turned to biting ants (turns out they do if you annoy them), amazonian wildlife and general dangerous creatures encountered while travelling. In addition there was some discussion over whether bringing Aperol to summer sessions might increase attendance..... One to consider!

By 8pm we had cleared the main section of all unwanted weed life and it was time to head back in our separate directions. It was also great to have been joined by Tilly at the task who would then add to our running group back to Brixton.

As ever thanks to all and see you at the next one.
