Mulch Better
18 GoodGymers made their way 4.9km to help the Hackney Marsh Adventure Playground in Newham.

Two sessions down already this year, that's two more weeks closer to spring, closer to the return of healthy daylight hours. I reckon this winter is going to fly past, that's not to say it doesn't have its merits, crisp air and blue skies is a thing to behold. Doing good deeds under the shadow of the night, like some benevolent ninja clan, is unquestionably pretty cool. However, 28th March is the day when the light returns, as the clocks go forward we get light in our evening sessions once again, so stick it in your diary. We're going to have a pagan style party and pray to the sun gods (read: go to the pub), you down?
Counted a healthy seventeen of us yesterday, a healthy prime number, significant enough to create lasting change in a half hour slot of tireless energy. After our traditional warm up and random question, we headed over to the Hackney Adventure Playground. More mulch required shifting, as a continuation of a job we started in December, it's an impressively time intensive job. You guys were indefatigable yesterday, sprinting energetically with barrows, shovelling with intent and shifting logs with brute strength. I reckon we made another nice dent, with new and improved efficiency, yet we've still got chunk to do. We'll be back next month, don't lose sleep perfectionists, we know who you are.
Massive welcome to Katerina and Suraj, who fitted seamlessly into our team, Scott who came back for round two and Anthony - the new GG Walthamstow Trainer.
Next week we'll fill our boots with the whatever Cody Dock offers, always a varied and fun job - sign up here
Have a class week peeps, look forward to seeing your beaming smiles in six days - train smart.

Thanks, Brahma, thoroughly enjoyed last night and I'll be taking my children to visit the Adventure Playground one weekend soon. Great to see the Newham team in action and it gives me something to aim for in Waltham Forest.
