Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Ilana
We convened at Shadwell station, sheltering from the afternoon heat, shortly joined by John, Darren, and first-timer Kelly (welcome Kelly!).
We headed south towards Shadwell Basin, dropping leaflets at Shadwell Gardens and various churches along the way. Highlights included a promising chat with a potential task owner at Glamis Adventure Playground, and a detour to the Outdoor Activity Centre where many locals were attempting to cool off in the water. Kareem joined us just in time for a well-earned hydration break at the historic Prospect of Whitby before we pushed east towards Limehouse.
We paused to admire some previous GoodGym handiwork at The Royal Foundation of St Katharine, and made a valiant attempt at leafleting Moo Canoes (surprisingly closed on a sunny Saturday). We called it a day at Limehouse Basin with a celebratory drink at the Cruising Association, having navigated our way through a stretch of East London many of us had never explored before.
Join us next time as we continue spreading the word across Tower Hamlets.
