So many people turned up to Monday's task, I actually lost count! Ocean Youth Connexions became Goodgym Connexions with people travelling from all corners of the city - Goodgym Newnham, Camden AND Greenwich kindly joined us at Limehouse. Shout out to Lobo who led an enjoyable scenic run before the task.

Task owner Kamal quickly organised us all into smaller teams. Some donned overalls, others grabbed litter pickers. Painting was a major task - it seemed like more or less everything was covered in a new coat of paint. Walls, walls, shutters, more walls. Ladders and extendable rollers were used to reach high places though most of us remained at ground level. The outdoor team tidied away bags full of rubbish and leaves.

A great evening, with new connexions made with pals across borough lines. We return here next Tuesday for more....painting!
