With our trusty area activator away in different slopes, it was down to Julian to lead the run up to the Albany. We gathered in our usual starting point and were joined by Amine, making his GoodGym debut. Welcome Amine, hope to see you again soon!

After a quick warm up, we made our way to the task at a brisk pace, meeting a couple of the group as we arrived. Our brief for the evening was the usual litter pick and weeding, though we were warned there wasn't much of either. But, in true GG spirit, we searched high and low and did manage to fill a big bin bag!

After a group photo and some more of the flowers (Spring really is coming!), we ran back and finished off with a thorough stretch session! Well done, team!

We gathered at Glass Mill with the excitement of clearing the basement at Lewisham Unity building, nearly the same level of excitement as when we cleared the basement at Seniors!! After a quick warm up we were on our way to Lewisham Unity, it's a long straight run, there's is an option to go through Ladywell Fields but it adds on a bit of distance.

We made it past all the kebab shops making us feel hungry to find there was a meditation session happening and we wouldn't be clearing the basement...but there were lots of leaves to clear in the garden.

Not to be deterred by the change in task, the team got stuck in and soon there were bags and bags full of leaves! And also sticks neatly piled next to the skip.

Great work everyone, especially with a change of task!

Due to frozen ground we'd had a change around of tasks and it was another week of finding those abandoned Christmas Tree's around the borough.

We split into groups and tackled the longer roads around Hilly Fields which my logic thought the far end people might not have wanted to drag them all the way to the drop off point but no success.

Then we headed to Ladywell which is usually prime Christmas tree area but not the usual success their either.

We didn't meet the lofty heights of last weeks 30 trees but we did smarten up the streets of Lewisham by finding one tree!! Well done Paul, you saved the task and made sure we didn't go home empty handed.

Welcome Louise to your first group run, hope you enjoyed the session despite the lack of abandoned Christmas trees!

See you all next week!
