13 Hackney GoodGymers ran 6k to clear Shaklewell Primary schools crazy overgrown king size allotment.

Great to have you all along to a huge and very rewarding task with Shaklewell Primary School. With someone on the inside of the task this week big thanks to Rich for organising the collaboration between the school he works at and the GoodGym crew. Great to see so many school staff helping out this evening to dominate a big task!

Rich lead the 3k charge up to the school where we got stuck straight in and the prickly balls stuck to us!

Trees, weeds, bushes all had to go from this hill side patch. Clearing at a speedy rate into barrows, over fences into a rapidly filling skip.

The garden was clearing in preparation for the school children to have the chance to plant fruit and veg this spring as part of an exciting project for the school.

With high energy and productivity the skip was filled the allotment was cleared and we were all covered in sticky prickles which got on leggings, tops, shoes, hats and hair!!

With a caramel treat to give us a boost of energy we zipped back to base at a great pace really finishing the session off with some great running training!

Hope to see you all next week for our visit to Abney and Social to celebrate Emily’s 50th GoodDeed!!.

Have a great week
