Goodgym is not just a running group any more. Our volunteers can choose to run, walk or cycle to a task. Tonight's volunteers did all three! Mark has a football or possibly dancing-related injury so walked to the task. Dave ran. And today's group leader Sarah cycled to her office near the task, ran to Blue House Yard to collect Dave, ran back to the task with Dave, then cycled home.

Today's task was in solidarity with our cycling buddies over at the Haringey Cycling Campaign. What with the 40+ days of rain we have had so far this year, the roads in Haringey and neighbouring Hackney are in a bit of a state. The HCC WhatsApp group was busy with talk of potholes, particularly around the Manor House junction.

Sarah knows it well as she cycles that way to her office at least once a week. So she volunteered GoodGym Haringey to help.

Potholes on the Hackney side of the road can be reported in the website fillthathole.org.uk.

On the Haringey side there is a form to fill out on the council website: https://haringey.gov.uk/streets-roads-travel/road-maintenance-improvements/report-problems-with-a-street-road/potholes-road-damage

Sarah, Mark and Dave managed to report several potholes on both sides of the stretch of Green Lanes that lies to the North of Manor House. Sarah reported one, but then technical difficulties combined with Raynaud's forced an early stop. As she works nearby she is planning to go back in more settled weather and complete the task.

And now we all get to wait and see if the councils take action! To be continued...

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.
