14 GoodGymers shouting each others names, 4 tennis balls, a couple running round in circles and we had a perfectly chaotic warm up. And everyone got a quick reminder of each others names! Oli, Julian, Paul, Sarah...glad I had a reminder, I'd never of remembered their names! Just joking my wonderful regulars!!

This week it was off the The Albany, which is a great Theatre in Deptford but also a hot spot for rubbish.

Our tasks for the evening were to patrol the perimeter (and the rest of the garden) to see what litter we could find. We usually find some gems and this week I'd say less gem and more disgusting - a nappy which I'm reliably informed was used.

The second group tackled the weeds in between the paving stones. There was also the mandatory lesson in sweeping from Paul. Isaac is now an expert sweeper!

It wasn't long before we lost daylight and we were all weeding. A good reminder that it is now most definitely head torch season.

We have a brand new task next week and we're heading to the Young Lewisham Project to help with the painting. Remember to wear your oldest GG top that you don't mind getting paint splatters on.

Another week, another chance to do some good in the borough of Lewisham. This week we were heading to The Albany to tackle the never ending supply of litter that blows in from the surrounding streets (and also gets thrown into the garden)!

It was a shorter run to The Albany where we split into groups to tackle the litter and also split into recycling and rubbish. As always we found some gems including a lime, a frisbee and a lot of beer cans!

With The Albany closing at 8pm, it wasn't long before we dropped our rubbish bags off at the bin store and gathered outside for a group photo.

On the way back, we confusingly detoured to the Waterlink Way so that we could take part in an exercise called "The Snake" - it probably does have a better name than that! The group ran slowly in a line, making sure to keep the pace steady whilst the person at the back sprinted to the front and once they arrived, shouted go for the next person to sprint and so on and so on. It's a great exercise to add in a variety of paces and the Waterlink Way gives us the perfect stretch of pavement.

Next week is a mystery task at the moment! See you there!

This week we had a running group and a walking group, Luxmore Gardens is the perfect distance to make this work. At Glass Mill we welcomed first time GG-er Lisa - hope you enjoyed doing good in Lewisham. And then me and Clare headed up to Luxmore whilst Oli was left in charge of the warm up - thank you!

I'm going to keep it short and sweet/let the pictures do the talking since this is our 4th visit in 2 months. We've had a huge impact on keeping the beautiful space looking less overgrown and giving space to the plants to thrive.

Next week we have a longer run of around 7-8km in total to move the paving slabs to PNK Garden. Don't forget gardening gloves for this one!
