On a particularly cold Monday evening in Lewisham, only the strong could be found braving the elements to gather homeless Christmas trees: that’s GoodGym!!

In order to maximise our impact, once approaching Hilly Fields the group split into 3 teams (captained by Darryl, Paul, and Steve) before proceeding to patrol their respective areas in search of discarded pine.

Despite the park already sporting 4 pretty big piles, a power hour of tree retrieval delivered a total of 28 specimens. But what of the (strictly friendly) competition between teams..? Well, the results were:

Team Paul: 7 trees Team Darryl: 9 trees Team Steve: 12 trees - congrats!

There was just enough time for a reunited group ascent of Hilly Fields, and a lovely moonlit view of Canary Wharf, before our return to Glass Mills
