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

Last night we had an epic task full of fun, progress and hard work, but before we go into that, we must say an huge, massive, colossal WELL DONE to everybody who went to Paris for the marathon this weekend. There were PBs galore, and some great running in what sounds like tough conditions. Congratulations to all the runners - Matt, Eloise, Alan, Lucy and Jonny - and also to the supporters who did an amazing job cheering and keeping tired spirits high.

With a weekend of those proportions, it was no surprise that a small group headed off from the Town Hall to meet a larger group directly at the task location. We have been to Cavendish school many times over the years, but a treat was awaiting us when we met Andrew, who has taken over the project. After hours of battling the weeds and clearing leaves, we found that a mini digger had been deployed to create an ampitheatre, the overgrown area had been cleared, and a couple of ducks had even taken up residence on the pond.

Our job for the evening was to transport lots of logs to make a seating area for the children, to spread mulch over the newly cleared spaces, and to move cuttings into the skip. We jumped into action. While the mulch shovelers got a great work out, there was some excellent artistic direction going on with the log layout, and Gus and Louise tested their balancing skills on the wheelbarrow ramp in very impressive fashion!

An earlier poll had decided that weary legs trumped fitness, so we extended the task a little. With the job done (apologies for forgetting the 'before' shot!), we took the opportunity to take some fun log-based group shots, and then split up into three groups - running, walking and cycling - to head back to base for stretches, pub, cake and in some cases, more running.

Don't forget that tonight is the Goodgym monthy social in Brixton. It's a great chance to meet GGers from different areas and catch up on all the good stuff that's been happening.

We also have a mission to help clear up a green space in Gunnersbury which needs a few more pairs of helping hands, not to mention a GG highlight, supporting the WLQP put on its 10km walk in June.
