GoodGym Lambeth Group Run Report: The Tree-quel! 🌲

The Return of the Pines

Last week was so pine that we decided to spruce up our schedule and do it all over again! Welcome to our second group session of 2026, and honestly this is one of our absolute favourite missions of the year.

Weather Report: Stormy with a Chance of Dedication ⛈️

Mother Nature clearly wanted to separate the saplings from the mighty oaks, serving up some properly dark and stormy weather. Our turnout was trimmed down to the hardcore trio of tree-rescuing legends: Tilly, Ben & AA Yianny 🤗

These three weren’t going to let a little wind and rain leaf them at home!

Mission: Operation Needle Drop 🎄

We raced around Clapham on our Christmas tree treasure hunt, seeking out the poor abandoned pines who’d been cast out post-festivities. Seems like some people really struggle with the grief of de-tree-ment - we found MORE trees piled up than last week! 😊

Clearly the “New Year, New Me” crowd forgot that applies to their living rooms too.

The Haul 💪🏼

By the end of our festive cardio session, we’d successfully relocated:

5 Christmas trees (may they rest in compost)
A pile of mystery logs (seriously, who leaves logs on Clapham streets? We may never know, but we yew-nited them with the recycling spot anyway!)

All trees and timber are now safely on their way to be composted by the council. From tinsel to topsoil - the circle of life continues! 🌲♻️
