Waltham Forest Report written by Helen Farebrother-Naylor
Hurrah! Another trip for GGWF to Walthamstow toy library with the lovely Helen C.
After a short run there, we (Alex, Charlotte, Ramon, Ercole, Dan, and another Helen for good measure) met at the task, and finished off with some hill reps (ok, the stairs). For Ercole, this was a walk in the park after 40 reps of the Springfield Park mound today!
Our task? Sorting out fancy dress into categories.
Dear Reader, this may seem simple, but let me assure you, that this task could be over thunk. Especially with yours truly around. Do all the princess costumes go in the Disney pile? What about Star Wars costumes, aren’t those owned by Disney now?! Shall we keep all the cowboy/sheriff costumes together with Buzz costumes? Robin Hood- historical figure or fictional character? Will mixing Marvel and DC superhero costumery cause a rip in the fabric of the space-time continuum?! And, arrrrrrrrrrrrr these trousers piratical 🏴☠️ enough to go here?! We pondered all these, AND MORE.
But mostly we had a very jolly time, with some outstanding dressing up and accessorising (although worth remembering what Coco Chanel said (@Ramon) about taking off the last thing one puts on!
And I’m afraid there were devastating scenes breaking the news to one GoodGymmer that the unicorn 🦄 costume belonged in the “mythical creature” costume pile, and not the “animal” pile. Ercole, we hope you’re doing ok now..
Anyway, fairly speedily we had things categorised and wrapped up, faster than you can say “professional web-slinger, coming through!”.
Reader, our task was done. We helped with locking up, and sped off into the (Dark K)night.

Another GoodGym favourite session at TRAID Walthamstow!
Upon arrival, we were instructed to get to work packing hangers away into large cardboard boxes and stacking them on packing crates to be shipped off.
After making light work of the first task, we set about loading piles of clothing into even bigger boxes to be sealed, lablleled and sent off. While not the easiest job for anyone unable to see over 5'7, Ercole took the lead on filling the taller boxes. While the boxes continued to pile up, Ramon shared his legendary knowledge on all things stretching, physio and discipline (seriously, if you're not up for the missions, at least come from the free PT sessions!)
Our superhero Helen arrived just in time for everyone's favourite part of TRAID missions: dressing up. While rifling through the smaller boxes to sort the clothing from the accessories, the team came across a few pieces that we just had to try on (hilarious photos to follow).
After a good fashion show and even better organising, we were done, dusted (literally) and ready to head home. TRAID sessions are always a group favourite and there are a few throughout the year so if this sounds like fun to you, keep an eye on the website!
