About this session

This week we'll be meeting up on Bute Street, opposite the Hat Factory by the giant orange LUTON sign before heading out to our task just past Wardown Park.

Konni of the Luton Orchards Project needs our help there to water some fruit trees in the orchard at the Bide-a-while. With the dry weather the last couple of months it's really critical that these young trees get support while they establish themselves. The task should be fairly simple, ferrying water by the bucket from the Penrose fence and over to the trees!

It's only a short distance to the task so very walkable, we'll just send you off earlier than the runners and catch you up!

What to look out for

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.

This is a GoodGym group run, with the option of walking too. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run or walk to the task together. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator David Mansfield by email at davidmansfield@goodgym.org.

Options are available to run between 4km and 5km in total.

Remember that we will be running or walking to and from the task, so you'll only be running or walking for half this distance in one go.
