Tonight 13 runners ran 2.3km to Park Hill School, despite the freezing cold conditions to help out in the forest school garden.

We had two visitors along with us tonight Louise (Goodgym Lewisham) and Arran (Goodgym Richmond) thank you both for making the trip to Croydon tonight you could have been anywhere else but you chose to come and join us. We started off the session with our signature photo outside Solutions then headed over to Southern House car park for a rigorous warm up before setting off towards Park Hill School.

When we arrived Esther was there awaiting us she had many different task for us to do, turning over the compost heap and combining two into one, clearing leaves from the pond, mending the raised beds, topping up the soil in the strawberry bed, cutting back some bushes for her to plant two trees and sweeping up the fallen leaves to be placed on the compost heap. The group quickly dived up into small groups and worked on the various tasks. Despite the cold conditions and the fact that it was an outdoor task spirits were still up and they chatted and laughed while discussing many different topics. Before we knew it time had flown by and it was time for us to leave, we bid our farewell and took some more pics before heading back to solutions.

Well done to all the runners who turned out today despite the cold conditions until next week enjoy the rest of your week and keep warm!
