Last night brought us to Plumstead, some of us running by the river, others walking and meeting us at the location for our glamorous task of litter picking a particularly grotty spot. Good deeds definitely earned for this one! Thankfully the rain held off and we busily collected a whopping 28 bags of bottles, wrappers, and oddly some hair? It's surely Incredibles what 11 commited GoodGymers can achieve in a short space of time - great work everyone.

A huge welcome back to Kevin, who has already smashed FOUR tasks since joining last week 👏 and big cheers to Hope on your second GGG group run, great to have you with us again!

10 goodgym-ers met for tonight's task at Woolwich Crossrail, and after a hop, skip, & an ice-breaker discussing favourite toys, made our way uphill to one of our regular venues,  Dee's Childcare. We'd hedged our bets on what tasks awaited us, often presented with garden toy-making adventures of our own at this nursery with a fantastic outdoor space.

Once there, while one group got on with weeding the crop- growing beds in the back garden, team Hedge embraced their inner beauticians,  clipping away at a massive hedge growing on on side of the front driveway which had become overgrown & blocking the natural light to the front of the building. Defoliage-ation indeed!

Bags & green bins full of greenery for recycling, we all finished the task in a much better Hedge space.

Welcome to GoodGym Greenwich to Hope and Kevin!  Thanks all & see you soon 😊 

Run report by Sarah M

A small but committed group set out from Glass Mills on a lovely Bank Holiday evening. In order to make the most of the remaining sun, we deviated from our usual route to Seniors to take in the heights & sights of Blithe Hill Fields.

On arrival, our sextet was split to tackle 3 tasks: weeding the planter beds, digging out and planting for a new vine, and weeding in the courtyard.

Even though it had only been 2 weeks since our last visit, a previous vine could already be seen starting its assent of the arch installed that previous Monday!

Enjoying the extended daylight, we didn’t wrap til a little after 20:00, when cleaned beds were left in favour of the Blythe Hill Tavern - well it was technically still the weekend, after all!
