Oh what a wonderful evening, oh what a miserable day! The weather yesterday had us feeling quite up and down but what always keeps me positive is having a great GG crew out to make a difference in the community.

First up we had Rebecca back after a while away and it was lovely to see you!

An all-runner group this evening and despite the short distance we wanted to arrive early so we could get through what turned out to be a big old task. AA Yianny, Katie, Maya (it was only a little rain shower!), Michael, Joao & Rebecca set off for the less than 1km route.

Annick from Friends of Windmill Gardens needed our help to lift up huge planters, clear the 40 year old crates from beneath, clear it away and then replace the planters onto breeze blocks - an awesome heavy duty task.

After tools were distributed and tasks allocated the group attacked with zest, the muggy conditions making it a sweaty and peaty affair. There was weeding, clearing, dumping, lifting and on and on.

Not the easiest task for anyone with a bug/spider aversion (although Joao very much resembled Spider-Man climbing over the railings) but no-one shirked and after an hour we had just about completed it all, leaving only a bit of sweeping for Annick post task.

Check out the photos below and a big thank you to all, it was a really fun one!

See you all next time :0)

With AA Yianny away this week our fantastic Run Leader Joao was in charge of taking the group over to visit Holy Trinity!

Joao was being met by Jo on the way and Marie-Noelle and Paul at the task while Nicole and her team and James (aka Father Nature) were also there.

Check out the pictures taken by Jo and a big thank you to all, see you next week!

Ok looks like a bit of a typo slipped into the title of this week's run - my apologies ;0)

As AA Yianny was out of town Joao was ready to step in and lead the short run over to help out at Rush Common, just up Brixton Hill.

Sylvie (welcome back!), Louise and Jo (nice photos - thanks!) headed up to help out the Friends of finish off a community event getting residents to help clean up Rush Common.

Marie-Noelle also set off to find the group but the group worked so efficiently that it was almost pack up time before she could reach the group walking - sorry Marie-Noelle we will have plenty for you to do next week!

A mention also to Michael who planned to join but was unable to without somewhere to leave his bag - again we look forward to seeing you next week.

Thanks all and don't forget we have our summer picnic next Tuesday, check out the listing below, come along and bring something to share with the group if you can! https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/helping-at-landor-road-summer-picnic-tuesday-s-group-run
