21 Hackney GoodGymers ran 6k to Abney Park Cemetery to clear debris from 100 metres of concrete pathway. To make sure the park continues to be super accessible for its users.
Great to have you all along for the session this evening! Great job to the injury crew for still showing up and dominating the task even when the body is not at 💯.
Top work from our first timers! And George on her first run as an official member!!
Bakehouse to Abney lead speedily by navigation expert Amy and super backmarker Ros.
Arriving in good time we got straight to work fully tooled up. Brilliant sweeping combined with accurate shovelling got as going in the right direction from the off and we made excellent time and progress. The debris and mud was pretty thick in places so we hard a fair bit to shift.
40 minutes of solid effort with a mini mass sweep at the end to finish off completed the task for the evening.
Dropping the tools off before making up some time with a fast run back to base to round off a fun, productive and energetic evening!!
Next week we are heading to Ion Square Gardens to complete our painting task. Probably best to wear your older kit if possible! There will also be a walking group heading down from the Bakehouse if you fancy a stroll over run!
See you there!
