All bark and more play

This week 10 intrepid GoodGymers in Newham returned to Hackney Adventure Playground. For 6 of us meeting at Jim & Tonic, we enjoyed a nice run through the Olympic Park and up the River Lea,

On arrival we found our remaining 4 GoodGymers to complete the team, along with two big tasks ahead of us - a mountain of crushed bark to move, and a forest of weeds to clear. The crushed bark was headed for a play area to help make it safer for the children using it, while the team clearing weeds were on a mission to find out what was underneath - with the hope that there might be a suitable (and flat) area for a future shed. It was clear in no time and the results were promising, once some large logs can be cleared.... watch this space, I sense a future GoodGym mission on the horizon.

We finished just as the drizzle started, perfect timing, and headed back towards Stratford, with a few of the group making a tactical social stop along Here East. Great work everyone, and special mention to Jess who joined us for her first mission - great to have you and we look forward to seeing you back again soon!

Next week we'll potentially have a fitness session as no tasks available currently, but normal service should resume from the week after, with a potential return to Cody Dock on the cards. Keep an eye out for the listings and see you there!
