Seven GoodGym members gathered to help Long Lane Pastures a nature Reserve in Finchley. Six of us gathered at the Phoenix Cinema to warm up and chat. It’s a handy place to meet just couple of minutes from East Finchley station on the northern line. It’s also worth visiting the oldest continuously used cinema in the UK. https://instagram.com/phoenix_cinema?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

We did a warmup outside before starting a short run to the nature reserve. En route we stopped to see the new planting for the East Finchley community playground that we had helped a few weeks ago. It’s looking great!

After jogging up a steep hill, we entered the Long Lane Pasture reserve. I was amazed how verdant it was looking. We met Donald, one of the main organisers, who asked us to cut back some the vegetation to keep the paths clear. We also met up with Simone Our very own would be walk leader ! ( yes, you’ve been promoted)

It was a stunning evening and we set to work in pairs with wheelbarrows and loppers. As the sunset, we finished off, and said our thanks to Donald, and headed back to the Phoenix for a warm down, and some refreshments.

Thanks for coming running ( walking) and doing some good!

See you next week!
