There's so mulch cake to eat! If we all take a pizza each, we will finish it in no time.
43 GoodGymers made their way 5.0km to help the Colour Your Common Initiative and Urban Growth London in Lambeth.

The BIG NEWS of the evening is that party poppers were popped for the brilliant Tim, who completed his 50th run last night. Give that man a cheer - he sure deserves it!
This evening we had two lovely runs - a small group led by Lucy and Nicky went 1km to Brixton Orchard - where a spare spot of land on Brixton Hill has been turned into a lovely, well, an orchard! There was a lot of woodchip mulch that needed spreading across the site and this crack team of 8 worked hard to get it all done.
I sure am going to miss Clapham Common! Especially the workout Katie makes us do on the benches! Said Issy.
The rest of us headed 2.5km back to Clapham Common for our final session of the year. The final strips have been dug and soil turned over - all ready for wildflowers to be planted. We can't wait to see what this looks like next summer. GoodGym have visited this site a number of times since March and have been a key part of the effort to create a tranquil, bee-friendly area on the Common. Hooray! After some lovely strength work, we all ran back to base for stretches.
What bakes! Said everyone.
On return to base we were treated to FOUR different bakes from Nicky, Issy, Sarah and a surprise chocolate fudge from GG Camden visitor Liz. YUM! After dining out on the sweet stuff, what more could we want than a social night at local pizza place 500 Degrees? Our backwards meal was highly recommended and people tucked into some delicious oven-fired delights. Some people had the classic Margarita. Freyja added olives to hers - an Olivita! George C had the terrible FUNGHI but he seemed to like it. Nelly had a vegan tomato and no cheese pizza. Elise accidentally ordered a white pizza so took some of Nelly's tomato base! Many of us enjoyed their home made ZINGY lemonade! It really kicked off. Thanks Steve for organising and thanks Lambeth for a great evening of tasking and feasting.
