The task is at Belgrave Lock and we will be cutting back vegetation along the tow path towards Lime Kiln lock.

If anyone wants to run from the meet spot (DMU Queens Leisure centre) the lock is 2 miles up through Abbey Park and near the Space Centre, Belgrave Lock 44.

The meeting at the task option will be to park on Charles Benion Walk and meet at Belgrave Lock.

If you know of more suitable parking at the Lock please do let me know, from what I can see it is mostly permit parking.

All tools and equipment will be provided, bring your own garden gloves if you wish.

Any questions please let me know sarahhorner@goodgym.org.uk

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Leisure Centre , and The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Leisure Centre and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages
