Roots Manuva-ed

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

Our Goodgym running crew avoided a continuation of the weekend's rain and mud (especially for those running parkrun or travelling to Wales for trail races!), and arrived the The Arsenal Community Hub on a mild spring time evening! Last one before the clocks go forward next weekend. Happy Birthday to Alex on Sunday, welcome back to Claire after her awesome trip to Hawaii, and Monday greetings to Louise after a weekend of completing Goodgym tasks across most of London! One of these being Area Activator Simon's official 500th Good Deed over at Caledonian Park junior parkrun on Sunday morning.

After a short warm-up along the slopes of the Emirates Stadium, we ran the 1.6 mile route along Upper Street in Angel (nice and quiet after a bit of rain) past Compton Square Gardens and down to the lovely ARC Centre on the Packington Estate. Kelly, the local resident and volunteer gardening expert took us over to the newly remodeled Riverside Gardens space, literally next door to Regent's Canal. This was actually part of our Slow Ways running task a few weeks back, so it was wonderful to see the spot being utilised for a new community project!

Between us, we set about digging up two large plots of soil and mulch, clearing the beds of roots, plants, older seeds and bulbs. We successfully pulled up some really quite huge plants, while avoiding our worm, snail and beetle friends, of course! The plan for the space involves re-designing the beds themselves (a carpenter will create some new dovetail joins for the containers on Tuesday), ready to be filled with nutritious plants and green shoots for the local residents (human or otherwise!).

We returned our shovels back to The ARC Centre after about 40 minutes of graft, and ran approximately 2 miles back to The Emirates Stadium, following our lovely Highbury Fields extension by Drayton Park.

Great job everyone! We will be back again next week, same time, same place!

Simon Fitzmaurice completed an epic 500 good deeds with GoodGym.

Say what? Simon is a Legend and enters the echelons of GoodGym folklore. 500 good deeds is an off-the-chart amount of good. It's enough good to reach the moon and back. Help Simon celebrate their legendary status.
