The heat may have been huge, but the desire to GoodGym on a Monday eve is bigger!
Starting with a warm up in Richmond, we headed across the green and down to the river to run across the lock and back along the river on the north bank into East Twickenham, turning in to St Christopher's Fellowship.
We are very familiar with the garden there and get on with weeding, litter picking, cutting back and sorting out without needing instruction! The brambles had been weaving their way around everything and weeds were clearly loving the heavy rain followed by sunshine, until we turned up!
45 minutes later the large garden felt more under control again, even if our own temperatures were not so much!
We are back there next month to keep on top of the summer growth.

After the heatwave broke, it was time to get a second coat on!
Temperatures hadn't plumetted that much in reality but our task this evening was the complete the task we started three weeks ago: protecting the boathouse doors for the scouts. This evening we headed out to put the second coat of teak oil on.
Starting with a good stretch in the sunshine on Richmond Green, half the group started walking to the river while the other half did interval sprints around the green, getting six sprints in before jogging off to the riverside.
Armed with brushes and oil, the doors were soon looking well-fed and happy, giving us time to go and get well-watered at the busy pub next door before sunset!

This vibrant youth club always brings out everyone's playful side and this evening was no different while we scrubbed down the projector inflatable, laminated posters and menus and prepared flags for summer activities! All this sandwiched by a sunny 7.5km run welcoming Larissa back to GoodGym for the first time since 2020, and Steph for her first group run, taking us from Richmond to Mortlake. The other half of the team made their own way and Lucy and Katie hot footing it from another task in Hammersmith!
