Gardening isn't the first activity that comes to mind on a grey January morning when it's two degrees outside, but a run to the park soon got me warmed up. Three other hardy GoodGymers were already there and Liz from Friends of Morden Park set us to work cutting back brambles and shovelling mulch into wheelbarrows then transporting and spreading it along a muddy path. There was lots of appreciation from park users (and a friendly fox) which is always nice, and by the time we'd finished you could really see the improvement. Liz kindly supplied hot drinks and a selection of cake and biscuits so we lingered afterwards for a chat post-workout. I'm sure we'll return 🦊

A trash-tastic DIY mission to do a bit of good to our local environment, wherever we may be. Thanks for all those who got out there and battled storm Goretti to get the job done!

Braved a cold, rainy morning to tackle the 'wild area' of John Innes Park to clear brambles and nettles to help the local habitat thrive. Despite the drizzle, it was a joy to work in such a beautiful space. We left damp, but with a clear path and clear heads!

Five hardy GoodGymers from Kingston, Merton, and Ealing braved a soggy journey, and a few navigational detours, to support Full Cycle tonight.

Despite the downpour, the team shifted into gear to tackle the list:

• Moving bikes and wheels upstairs.
• Sorting parts and pairing up a wheel load of pedals.
• Rolling tubes and flattening cardboard at a tyre-less pace.
• Braving the rain (again) to lug metal and tyres out for collection - truly spoke-tacular resilience.

Massive kudos for showing up and powering your way through the list of jobs. You’ve definitely earned a warm evening in and some serious January Challenge credit.
