44 of you. 27 degrees. 5 tasks. Over 150 miles covered. Painting, digging, lifting, weeding, watering and of course running.
Here's the round up;
Team Papas were the magnificent three. And they were bloody magnificent, they might not have run anywhere due to injuries, but the girls laid down some serious work at Papas with as we commenced painting on the fence… harder than it looks with a brush the size of an Argos pencil. The flowers and plants of Papas also got watered, and given the weather I’m pretty sure they gave visible sighs of relief when the water hit their pots.
Team Wyck Garden ran a mile each way to help Loughborough Junction farm to do some serious digging. Lovely Anthea worried that the ground would be too hard, but our crack team made light work of the task much to everyone’s amazement. That was some serous muscle work kids… grrrrr
Team POP Brixton took a central run down to Shakespeare Road to pick up trees that had been donated to POP Brixton. They carried the adult trees (that means BIG) a kilometre to Brixton’s newest hot spot ready to be planted. In fact they did it so quick the new home wasn’t even ready for the trees. BEASTS… great work.
Team Portico Gallery took on the vixen that is Brixton Hill and a 5 mile run as they headed down to The Portico Gallery to help our wonderful friend John to move tables and put gravel into ballasts. When asked what the ballasts were for John explained they were for runners to put around their legs for strength training… then swiftly demonstrated. Oh John.
Team Nature Garden also got a good run with four miles in order to take on the jungle with some serious weeding and general tidying of the garden ready for a fate in a couple of weeks.
Great work guys… send me pictures!! (of the task. Not nuddy pics.. although…) in the meantime here's some Glastonbury shots of out runners and the lottery ticket that failed to pay out... next week kids.. next week.
