7 GG-ers helped our weeding the tiny forrest under a glittering sky as fireworks went off around us 🎆🎇

We met at Old Spike and, after a quick warm-up, headed out for our group run to the Old Alleynian Rugby Club. It was a deceptively mild evening, and we were all nicely warmed up after tackling the East Dulwich hill. Once at the rugby club, Ian set us to work trimming back the hedges to tidy up the boundary and make it easier for walkers to pass by. Our efforts were rewarded with a delicious homemade brownie — the perfect treat to refuel before our run back to Peckham.

Although our community gardening session was cancelled last night, it turned into the perfect chance for a bit of litter picking instead. We gathered at Old Spike before heading out for a run around Peckham Rye Park, then split into three teams for the clean-up.

To make things even more fun, there were prizes up for grabs: the best “G” item for GoodGym, the most “South London” find, and the piece most likely to belong in a modern art museum. In true diplomatic style, each team came away with a win—so everyone left happy!

We finished with a run back to Old Spike, a well-earned cool down, and then headed home feeling accomplished.
