On the run back to base Charlotte put it perfectly, these were the best conditions for our group run so far in 2025, lovely temperature and the sun setting as we made our way back - you could feel the positive vibes all around.

Let's not get into the fact that yet another GGer had just returned from amazing travels in Central America making the rest of us feel greener than Sticky Willy with envy (!) and focus on the awesome run and task of the evening. Charlotte, Dan and AA Yianny met at Papa's and set off on a secret flat route through Brockwell Park even being able to rock t-shirt and shorts for the first time!

On arrival we were met by our host Nicole who presented us with our tasks, Ben who made his way directly to the task, Ellie who arrived straight from work (don't worry Ellie we can sort that for you ;0) and we were delighted to see Adam again - sporting a new mark of bravery but looking well so great to have you back with us!

Over the next 45 mins we finished off the final load of barkchip to lay in the upper garden and then started the never ending task of clearing the circular path's weeds which no sooner do we get to one end seem to grow back at the other.

Not to worry GG are great at repetitive but valuable tasks and so it was that we put another lovely evening to bed and all left HT in high spirits.

We move on to next week and so I wish everyone a lovely week and look forward to seeing you next time.

Today, three regular Goodgymers had a relaxing, chatty morning unpacking and sorting food donations.

Today’s task flew by! We managed to park and store all the donations in just an hour, and it felt great to see everything organised so quickly!

The crew were out in good numbers last night despite the drastic drop in temperature - Spring reverting to Winter - and we were ready to set off and help out Valcie from Papa's Park at the Landor Road allotments.

First up we were delighted to welcome Perdie to the Lambeth group for her first session - great to have you with us!

Tilly, Ben and Fi then joined us and we set off on a loop via Clapham North to Landor Road and despite being hesitant about the run portion, Perdie decided to join and in the end made it round no problem.

On arrival Matt was there to let us in and show us the tasks and our cyclists Marie-Noelle and Paul were there to meet us as well. The tasks were simple clear out the alkanet from as much of the plot as we could and once the tools were distributed we hit the ground hard.

By 8pm we had cleared a huge tract and Matt was surprised that we had filled the tonne bag full of weeds and grass and that was time for this session.

And so we set off back to base, a few cheeky Haribo were shared to keep our blood sugar levels even (...!) and we look forward to the next session and hopefully some better weather as well. Valcie was very pleased and sent her thanks to the group as well.

See you next time - Let's Go Lambeth!!

Today, the delivery van arrived after the session time however the team rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in, unpacking, sorting, and repacking a HUGE food donation delivery, in record time. .

That title got your attention right?!

Lambeth GG were back at it last night as a smaller (intimate?) group of us gathered down at Loughborough Farm to help Heather with the Orchard.

The evening kicked off in different fashion with Katie having to make do with Chuck Taylors instead of her running shoes, Tilly bravely running straight from work to hit a cheeky 15km for the evening and AA Yianny setting off from base on a solo run - most importantly the weather was perfect and we all made it down successfully!

On arrival Heather met us with garden forks, shovels and wheelbarrows and that meant we were in business, heading over to the orchard to help clear a pile of (we were told) Sticky Willy nettles and drop them on the compost pile along with some woodchip.

The best thing about the vening was not only learning some new names for plants but also receiving a lesson on composting - every day is a school day as they say - so we left not only happy doing some good but also a tiny bit smarter. (Not hard I heard someone say....)

So that was that, task completed and Heather very happy and keen to book in another session so we all set off and headed home for a well earned ice cream / dinner!

Thanks team and see you next time :0)
