A call out to GoodGym volunteers rumbled up some enthusiastic members to help boost Morden Parkrun this morning! We had a fantastic time supporting the event, helping with everything from set-up and marshalling to guiding runners through the funnel and even token sorting. It was a great way to start the weekend. The morning was made even better with a little shout-out during the briefing, 2 team members running and 1 PB - well done team!

Tonight we teamed up with Emma from the Mitcham Hedgehog Project for a truly insightful mission: setting up tunnels to survey the local area for hedgehogs! After a quick brief, we dove headfirst into preparing the triangular tunnels. Painting each side of the A4 paper inserts with a mix of vegetable oil and charcoal ink was a real ink-genious method!
Then, we hedged our bets across six locations, taking turns to set up the dry cat food bait and securely pin down the tunnels to minimise any movement. It was a unique and un-fur-gettable session helping to protect our prickly friends and we learned a hedge-load about the local hedgehogs and the area! A huge welcome to Rita and congratulations on completing your first GoodGym task, and a big hello to Williams, who joined us from a neighbouring area. Great to have you along and hope to see you again soon.
