Two Camden GoodGymers, John and Jackie, headed to the Far North (of the Northern Line). We needed to move a bed downstairs, for a lady returning home from hospital who would be unable to get up to her bedroom.

It was quite a puzzle to work out how to manoevre the bed out of the bedroom, past a door which didn't open fully due to a doorstop, round sharp bends and down the winding stairs. The only way to achieve it - and even then it was awkward - was to remove the headboard and screw it back on when we'd got downstairs. Which seemed straightforward, until we put it back on the wrong way round.

But everything was put right, just in time for the lady to return home from hospital. And we soon rewarded ourselves with a handsome meal at the Loving Hut restaurant.
