A last minute change of plan didn't deter us from heading out into the borough and doing good! Armed with our trusty litter pickers we headed to Ladywell Fields. I trailed behind and once I got to Ladywell Fields everyone was busy litter picking.

We tackled either side of the park up to the running track and then up and over the curly bridge to see what litter awaited us there but also to see the nest of birds built on a shopping trolley in the river alongside a chicken shop wrapper (presumably there to remind the chicks of their home town of Lewisham). Sadly the recent rain has washed away the nest ☹

After trying to fit all our rubbish in the bins so that the foxes didn't spoil our efforts, we headed our separate ways, the group back to Glass Mill and Vic and I in the direction of Catford.

Next week we are heading up and over the hill(s) to Seniors!

Everyone loves a new GoodGym Task, and tonight's was a summery evening treat, as 7 GoodGym-ers made their way up Shooters Hill to The Memorial Hospital, where our tasks awaited us in various shapes and sizes, leading us to hidden depths on the outskirts of Oxleas Woods.

After a briefing from the venue team, Maira and Karen, we got stuck in with litter picking, tearing up brambles and shovelling woodchip for distribution over some ivy growth. Others hacked away at gnarly tree roots which had evil intentions to trip unwary travellers on their route through the woods.

Our time had soon run out, so we wandered back to base, listening to stories of castle ruins and hidden lakes in the woodlands.

Mission accomplished, the run back down the hill was much kinder and it's time to say Au Revoir, until the next task!

Special welcome to Jia for your first good deed with us - great to have you join the group and Sam, kudos for your second good deed in a week - lovely to have you back with us!

Next wednesday we've got another new task at a school in Greenwich and this sunday we've got some more woodland work at Westcombe Woods- hope to see you soon!

Double task week and a double new GG-er's week - my favourite kind of week. Welcome Kirsti and Olga, we hope to see you at many more group runs!

In the continued saga of my Kim-jury, I was taking public transport to the task after being told I'm not allowed to cycle. Paul and Oli kindly led their groups to the correct tasks - thank you!

The tasks for this evening were to clear the litter at The Albany and clear the weeds at Florence Green. Fortunately for the hedges but unfortunately for us, the dry weather had meant that there weren't as many weeds as we expected!

Don't forget it's the grand opening party of Florence Green on Sunday!

Sun-day at Lesnes Abbey Woods junior parkrun for a hi-viz double-act by GoodGym Bexley and GoodGym Greenwich 😎.

Between us we tail walked, park walked, marshaled and barcode scanned while the young runners and their overheating parents completed the three lap course.

After cooling iced coffees at the Chestnuts kiosk, we made our way by bus and bike to Erith to join more GoodGymer friends for a lovely chatty walk along the Thames to Woolwich.

What a lovely morning.
