GG Lambeth were back last night visiting Jennie Lee Garden to help out our friends at Lambeth GP Food Co-Op as we continued to move the compost from the front to the back in the garden where the octo and nonagenerian patients can use it!

We were delighted to have Adam back with us this evening after a little time away following a health scare (welcome back!!) as the crew met at Papa's ready to run and cycle our way down to the task. The group was also fortunate enough to meet a rare Hungarian Sheepdog as Dyfed from the committee popped by on an evening walk!

Dan, Tilly, Fi and AA Yianny headed out across Brixton on a slightly longer run which makes this task so enjoyable as you really do get a cardio and pump session in and made good time arriving just as Heidi was pulling up on her back to meet us, armed with four short handled shovels (always handy in South London!)

We grabbed our wheelbarrows (including one now nicknamed Willy Wonka due to a flat / wonky wheel) and set about moving as much of the 4 one tonne bags' compost as we could. Without blowing our own horn the group managed in 40 mins to bring 3 bags inside and top them back up to almost full meaning there is only bag left - a fantastic effort from the team and Heidi.

And so after much enjoyable conversation, the saving of little cats lives and plenty of grunt work we were done. A big thank you to all and I will see you at the next one!

Lambeth crew were back at it yesterday evening, making their way out in the lightening evenings to help out in the local community while having fun and getting fit.

First up we welcomed Scott to his first Group Run with GG - great to have you with us Scott! Scott was joined by GG regulars Tilly and Fi ready for a nice steady 3km run round Brixton and Clapham and back towards base.

Our regular Litter Pick Bingo session allows for some 'competitive' action by splitting up into teams and seeing who can complete the bingo card of litter items. The session not only allows us to tidy litter and dispose of recycling on the way but also have fun seeing who can find the most bizarre item which normally decides the winning team.

The call was made to go Tilly/Fi vs Scott/Yianny (Scott full of non stop energy even running between pieces of litter!) and so the two groups set off in search of treasure (waste). The competitiveness was such that both teams considered buying a chocolate bar or take-away in order to get the packaging but thankfully no such action was required.

By ten to eight we were back to share and dispose of our haul with all items barring PPE interestingly, collected by both teams. For the weird and wonderful we found a mohair coat, dog toy, pregnant cat (don't worry we didn't dispose of it!) and a single mattress.

Big thanks to all for a fun session and we move on to next week's session - see you then :0)
