For this week's issue of GoodGym... Brambles.
We assembled at the Bridge House, welcomed Henrietta to the crew and named ourselves and our favourite tube or train lines.
Then we set off to Albion Millenium Green, where we met Jorella from the friends group who had a prickly task for us.
Ramble in the bramble.
Lots of the lovely bluebells were getting shrouded by overgrown bramble bushes, so our job was to cut them back in a few different areas. Armed with secateurs, shears, saws and even a scythe(!) we got to work trimming and swiping until the areas looked much tidier.
Nice job & jog everyone 👌

Getting hench, drenched and edging to the bench, GoodGym Bromley smashed it this evening in pretty grim conditions.
Thankfully our jog was perfectly pleasant as we set off from the Bridge House. Today we made up for a lack of Easter session by naming our favourite eggs from fried quails eggs to Cadbury's creme.
We swung by Cator Park's freshly planted Tiny Forest and a beautiful surprise display of tulips and daffodils we installed on our way to meet Millie.
We split into two groups to tackle a couple of tasks:
💦 Soaking the willow arch, with scooped up water from the river. Some new stems had been planted so water helps them bed in.
💪 Edging the paths to widen them.
The rain came soon after we started and it got muddy pretty quick but we managed to get the willow arch watered and edging all the way to the bench.
Ace stuff.

At what point is a pun so bad that it's good? Not there yet?
Last night 9 top quality GoodGymers came out for a jog and some weeding at a NEW TASK for us! I love the mystery of a new task. However this new task was for the Salvation Army who are understandably a reliable bunch.
We named, told everyone our favourite sports and looped round the block to get the the Sally Army building in Penge, where we met Becky who had provided plenty of tools for us to use.
GoodGympanzies?
It was actually a bit of a jungle with moss growing along the ground and bushy weeds growing around the sides. Armed with hoes, secateurs, those scrapey-outey things and even a saw for the tree-like thing, we cracked on.
It was a big space to clear and within 25 minutes we'd smashed it.
To weed or not to weed?
Kelsey was going to arrange a GoodGym Bromley-wide poll as to where we should remove one plant that looked particularly "planty" and maybe not so "weedy".
Unfortunately David and his secateurs beat us to it. 😅
Squat, paper, scissors
It's been a little while since we've gamified our journey back to base, but with a sports court on route, I couldn't resist. We did a quick game of squat, paper, scissors: Lose - and you sprint to the other side and back. Win - you squat.
Well played, and nice running and good deeding everyone ✨
