Date and time
09:45 - 11:45A few weeks ago GoodGym and Friday Night Lights started a massive project in the heart of London, right next to the Tower of London. We prepared the site by digginfg out 5 huge planters ready for trees to be planted.
Michael, from Grounded Ecotherapy who runs the site, said:
'I wanted to start by saying a huge thank you to Goodgym who joined us last Saturday at Tower Hill. It was an absolute pleasure to host them all and, as usual, they didn’t disappoint! They all absolutely smashed stage 1 which involved moving soil and materials onto the terrace and then digging out the 5 large planters.'
Now it is time for the next part. Here is challenge from Michael:
'We would like to invite you all back for stage 2 of the job, which will involve digging out the rest of the planters on the perimeter of the terrace. These are smaller planters but more of them in number. I have no doubt that your crew will rise to the challenge again. So, over to you. Let us have as many people as you can get'
I reckon we need 80 people signed up: are you up to the challenge?
We'll be meeting again in London Bridge before running around 4km to the Tower of London. This will be a great leg and arm workout. The best way to start the weekend!
