7 Goodgymmers hustled and huddled on a chilly North London night as they leafleted on behalf of Trees for Streets.

Can yew believe it?

Believe it or not, we had some much fun a few weeks back leafleting for Trees for Streets that we had to squeeze another session in.

Encouraged by the knowledge our last session had resulted in a few trees being sponsored in our neck of the woods, we put our sneaks on, grabbed our face warmers, Gramps even considered long socks at one point, and we all headed towards the Harringay Ladder for some good, old school leafleting.

Oh, and we leafleted. We leafleted real good.

Rung by rung, we started covering the ladder at speed. All the while we discovered that Latoya may turn parkrun 50 this weekend (work permitting - watch this space), that Gramps will not wear long socks after all even if his life depended on it, and Niamh arrived fashionably late and then proceeded to enlighten us on the finer details of the law regarding... erm... check notes.. erm... I think I need to consult my lawyers before I commit this one to print. I guess you had to be there for that one :)

Before you knew it, 8pm was upon us. Dave had to peel off but the rest of the crew decided to sneak another rung on the ladder before we called it quits. Rebels.

While we took some selfies, Niamh came up with a frankly preposterous High Five, a double dip of an elbow bump and high five. Gramps described it as the Salt Bae bump. We'll see if it catches on.

Fun times.

Don't forget our social Moselle River walk this weekend - it should be lots of fun.

And we'll be back next week on Wednesday for some more japes and capers - join us!
