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.

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!!

The evening's planned collab with Friday Night Lights didn't come to pass but that doesn't mean that Lambeth GoodGym wasn't ready to party.....

The team met as usual at Papa's and 6 trusty GGers including a new face were ready to crank up the tunes and head out to the task. The group offered a warm welcome to Manos for his first ever GG session - great to have you with us Mano!

We set off with AA's rather clunky speaker blaring out Motown hits through Brixton during rush hour and of course nobody batted an eyelid as many a stranger thing has been seen than a group of red clad runners partying to Ben E King and Bill Withers!!

On arrival at the Tulse Hill estate we were greeted by: - A very enthusiastic resident who danced with us in the car park despite being on CRUTCHES! - Alfred the very protective and excited dog - And our host Vinnie who had arranged the task for the evening

The task was a classic lift 'n' shift, grab all the timber and relocate it from the playground to the polytunnelas well as a massive roll of underlay and some pin boards, then dispose of the pallets by the recycling bins. We had serious muscle with us so while Alfred serenaded us with barking Ben, Manos, Scott, Tilly and Fi grabbed as much as they could and we were done in no time.

Task completed and Vinnie was delighted (Alfred maybe less so?) and so we loaded up Spotify to disco classics and were able to boogie our way all the way home.

Big thanks to all and see you next time (oh and Scott I'm expecting you to follow through on that 80s fancy dress in the coming weeks!)

As AA Yianny had to travel unexpectedly the GG team stepped in and Fi kindly covered the group run this Tuesday.

Feedback from the team was that it was all fine and dandy. Fi and Ben ran together from Papas and met Paul, Adam and Michael at the task.

The group chopped 6 big holly bushes right back (with some secateurs) which took up the whole time available Helping to not block the windows and provide a bit more light ahead of spring.

Big thank you to Fi and the whole group for stepping in / up and delivering another excellent task.

See you all next time!
