Who this task will support
Highgate Woods
Highgate Wood is 28 hectares of ancient woodland in North London

This is an exciting opportunity to help improve the environment of the woods and will
include helping the Ranger Cindy with specified work

Highgate Wood is a 28 hectare (70 acre) area of ancient woodland in North London, lying between East Finchley, and Highgate Village. It was originally part of the ancient Forest of Middlesex which covered much of London, Hertfordshire and Essex and was mentioned in the Domesday Book.

Option to meet at the cafe in the woods at 7.15pm ( please advise ) rather than run from the phoenix.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

6km total distance

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.

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 Phoenix Cinema, and Phoenix Cinema and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
