Last night's session was back with our friends Jean and Annick of Windmill Gardens fame.

First up though we were delighted to welcome back John who had been away from all things GG for a short time (just the 5 years then) but was once again back with us - welcome back John!

A nice easy run up Brixton Hill for Michael, AA Yianny and John where we were met by the Windmill Gardens team and our intrepid walkers - Marie-Noelle and Paul who were already hard at work chopping back the growth along the back fence.

The remaining team were put to work on the wheat patch pulling out the rather unsuccessful harvest from this year and getting it ready and turned over to receive the next crop. We were lucky to be surrounded by wafting scents of mint throughout making it a lovely evening of helping out.

Check out the before and after pics - plenty of work got done, plenty of getting fit and doing good as well.

Thanks to all and I look forward to seeing you next time!

Ok so as happens sometimes, things change. Our task tonight had to change and so we brought forward our Everyday Plastic event to tonight and sadly there was no sh#t to shovel (but there will always be more sh#t guys don't worry).

First up we were delighted to have Marcio join us for his first Group Run - thanks for joining us Marcio!!

The group gathered at Papa's, now with the broken door thankfully repaired, and we were set to head out for a quick 2km loop while AA Yianny headed to pick up black bags for the task. Tilly, Marcio, Michael and Becky grabbed a litter picker each and the group set off.

On our return the task was simple collect as much recyclable plastic as possible and deposit into the green recycling bins - simples. We were supporting the campaign to tackle the effects of the plastic problem that are felt across our society.

By the end of the session we had cleared two large bin bags of plastic waste ready for recycling - job done.

Thanks to all and see you next time!

Did you know that during WWII a bomb which landed in Brockwell Park made the turret of the church jump, rotate 90 degrees and then land back exactly in position where it has remained ever since??! You learn something new everyday at GoodGym!

Tilly and Michael met AA Yianny down at Papa's (along with a special guest appearance) and were ready to set off on a lovely bright evening run across to Holy Trinity.

Once AA had made a quick errand run he arrived just before our runners and the welcome was warm and cordial from James (aka Father Nature), Nicole and Naomi.

Our task this evening was to clear the grassy knoll around the large tree of all the scrabble grass, rocks and bricks and bindweed so that it can be nicely turfed to match the rest of the gardens.

We didn't have long but did manage to get through plenty of work and despite the hope of finding medieval coins or treasure we only found a metal from ornament ;0)

Despite some recent issues with the website things are back to normal now so check out the listings for upcoming Group Runs and I look forward to seeing you all soon!
