We met at Old Spike and after a quick warm up we headed passed Peckham Rye Park and up to Dawson's Heights. We were met by James and set to work in the orchard. We had a successful evening clearing the undergrowth around the trees and James was very pleased with the amount we managed to get done.

We met at old spike before heading out on our group run. It was lovely to see Laura and Roland back! Half of us headed to Kelly Park Avenue and the other half went to Traid. At Kelly Park we litter picked and watered the plants. Over at Traid the other half of the group packed away the clothes for the end of season sale. After our sessions we headed to the Old Nags Head to celebrate Nathan’s 300th and Isaac’s 200th GG run. Both huge mile stones!!

Goodgym Southwark headed over to Kelly Avenue Park. When we arrived we filling the trenches that had been dug the previous month, with the mulch and soil, which that had been delivered by the council, to form the hugelkulture.

As we moved the mulch and soil quicker than expected, using a repurposed bin and the might of Goodgymers carrying the big bags, we then proceeded to water the planted hedgerow, weed around the smaller trees and litter pick across the park.

Jam packed evening for goodgym Southwark - a sweaty 3km run from Old Spike to Old Alleynian in time to catch the solar eclipse.

Some novel methods to watch it were attempted including a holy hat and a pasta spoon.. Thank you to David for packing spare glasses so everyone could get a glimpse!

After the EXCITEMENT of the eclipse we helped Ian with trimming the pavement side hedge.

Then onwards for some well deserved ice creams at Oddono's and crispy cold pints at the Actress.
