Tonight's task required a run of precisely 0km, as the task was at our start location of Blue House Yard. Blue House Yard is a lovely little brightly painted space housing local businesses. The entrance to the yard was lowering the tone somewhat.

Enter Luke and his Postcode Gardener project, who have managed to get some funding to bring the site back to life.

And who better to help out than GoodGym Haringey!

Sarah, Yann, Rebecca and Veronika quickly armed themselves with towels and got to work. The aim for today was just to clear all of the weeds ahead of coming back at a later date to plant the site up. By 8pm the site was pretty much clear, and the team melted away into the night (or possibly the bus bar).

On a rainy night in February three of the team met at Blue House Yard to run the two kilometers to Lordship Rec, pausing only to report a big pile of dog mess to LoveCleanStreets. The rest of the gang had already arrived, and everyone was soon put to work shovelling, barrowing and spreading woodchip on the path through the orchard. There was a side mission for strongman Dave carrying and piling logs to build a bug hotel. Task owner Mike said there were something like 1400* different species in the Rec.

Although someone kept putting a spade in Dave's path and Rebecca kept almost slipping over in the mud, we made it through the night accident-free and also murder free, which is an achievement given Sarah kept channeling Claudia Winkleman in lieu of doing anything actually helpful.

There was just enough time left at the end to spread some more woodchip around the very muddy parkrun start and finish.
