Bulbo Baggers

Last night we planted over 6million* Crocus BULBS and Moved 2 big BAGS of compost. Hence the pun. Wizzow!

I asked for lots of tweets to describe what we got up last night. I got 5. Yesssss! Here is a description of last night via the medium of social media.

We want to Castlehaven community centre. Here's what they said about it;

Huge thanks to @GGCamden for planting hundreds of bulbs last night! We cannot wait to see them flower in the spring! Huge thanks #goodgym !

No problem Castlehaven!

As you can see we planted loads of bulbs. Beth Hoskins describes it perfectly in 140 characters;

Last night we planted bulbs @CCA_Camden 'as if Jesus had thrown them around', whilst religiously sticking to the 3 bulbs down rule #GGCamden

Perfect.

But what did we plant? Meredith and Jen can shed some light...;

Had fun planting crocuses with @GGCamden tonight! Also discovered that English earthworms are legion. #ggcamden

@GGCamden So much fun planting crocuses under trees for the Jan bloom! Next time I vow to be at front of group run!#ggcamden

I did a tweet too.

Watching @fpowrie sprint to grab another bag of crocus bulbs last night was definitely my highlight of my #ggcamden evening #worthywinners

It's right, she was good. In fact she was a champion bulb planter.

While we were planting 8 others ran to The Skip Garden in Kings Cross to help them with a task.

Here's Paul Bown's account. Although it breaks the 149 character Twitter limit, it's too good to leave out.

The task was for 8 amazing GoodGymers to run to Skip Garden to help lift compost to a movable bin so it can be used accordingly around the community project. We bounced our way there with Lucia (GGC Coach Rep) tanking it off at the front and Sophie Hedges (GGC Taskforce) backmarking. After a quick run we met Jane at the task, she explained what to do and in 12.5 minutes of lifting with shovels and buckets we were done. Tom Benson and Rodney were particularly strong lifting 18 tons of compost on there own (I think that's right or maybe I can't judge weight)... After a group photo around a fire we headed off down the canal (doing a lap of Gasholder Park on our way) to Camden Lock and then Castlehaven to do some speed bulbing. On the return from castlehaven 17 brave soles sprinted as quick as they wanted 2.5km back to Granary Square, avoiding a fallen bush, speedy bikes and generally having a cracking time.

I can see Paul and I both share a talent for outrageous estimation of numbers....

Ill leave the last word to new Hackney trainer Joel who said (on Twitter);

Thanks to @GGCamden for looking after me last night on my GG debut. Some great chat, running and speedy bulb planting
