It was a double header last night in Hounslow! With two tasks to choose from, there was something for everybody. We also got a chance to welcome Beata to her first Hounslow session - great to have you join us!

Those that preferred a shorter run/walk to a local organisation took on the weeding task at Chiswick Methodist church, led by Michelle. What sounded initially like a relatively light job actually turned out to be quite the session. Luckily, as Michelle put it, they took it very methodically....have a look at the impressive before and after photos to see what the group managed to achieve. They also had birthday girl Alanna there to keep spirits up - many happy returns to the lovely lady herself on her special day! When the group is reunited next week we'll give you the bumps.

The second group set off on a slighter longer, and arguably somewhat less scenic route to Gunnersbury Park where a hefty job relocating logs waited for us. We used what three words to find the exact location, running past many very much smaller piles of logs en route. When we finally did arrive, we realised the scale of the task. There was no shortage of enthusiasm though, and we started shifting the logs as fast as our legs could carry us. Until, that was, we discovered a section of the local wildlife that had made the pile its home. Lifting up the wood we found lots of little families of frogs nestled in the mud. So as not to disturb their peace, we gently worked around the tiny amphibians, and soon only the giant unliftable logs were left. Great work everybody.

Next week we're off to do another stint at the Cavendish Nature area, so pack your gloves ready for the next step in this exciting project.

Have a great run into the weekend GoodGym!

It’s been some time since the tallest and the smallest members of GoodGym Hounslow teamed up for a weekend mission. Luis is once again mission verified and comes highly recommended as an exceptionally good mission partner. He is particularly great to have around when it comes to tasks that involve working at height, problem solving and keeping a calm head.

And so it was that we found ourselves arriving to help Mr K with some packing on a sunny Saturday in west London. The task was a simple one; to pack the rest of Mr K’s belongings ahead of his move to a new home on Monday. Mr K was happy to see us and asked if we could empty the kitchen cupboards - and some items on top, cue Luis - and pack all but a few essential items for the weekend. Luis also took down two sets of curtains before we said our goodbyes and wished Mr K well with his move. Good to have the big friendly giant back on the mission circuit. 5 stars on Trust Pilot
