Eleven fabulous GoodGymmers ran to the North Way gardens to help prepare the community garden . Meeting at the Phoenix it was great to be running in normal temperatures! After a warm up we headed off with Graham in the lead and Rupesh back marking. We stopped to do some paired exercises and not ballroom dancing as suggested by the photos. We were soon at the gardens and met by Brian who set us to work .The gardens are a great community project involving 130 people who offer money, time ,plants and TLC. Set beside a small stream the long park runs next to the A1 into London but we could have been in the middle of the country as it was so dark and quiet. Thats whats great about good gym runs we are always discovering little gems in the urban sprawl of barnet. We divided into teams and set out on our tasks in the dark using head torches to make bins to store leaves and move loads of compost bags. Brian is always grateful for our help and is looking forward to our assistance with another big project in the spring. We made time for a HIT session on the grass in the dark to the latest dance tracks! Then back to base for a warm down. Thank you for taking part.
