26 amazing GoodGyming GoodGymers ran 6k to Abney Park Cemetery to clear a kilometre if concrete path of mud and muck.

Big shout out to the GG first timers this week!! Very warm welcome!! Hope you enjoyed the session and will be back for more very soon!!

Huge thank you to everyone for helping me out!! From ** Amanda and Vinney** offering the use of their bikes, Chi and Clair leading the running, ** Liz** dominating the photography and all the well wishes, very much appreciated!!! Thank you!!

So 3k running up to Stokey to meet Quentin at the imposing gates of the magnificent Abney Park Cemetery. Grabbing the carefully placed tools and heading deep into the park to where even the many Abney regulars were not quite sure where we were.

With the dirt pathways having been lovingly reinforced over the last 6 months we turned our attention to the network of concrete paths that after the rough weather had become very muddy and debris filled. As these pathways are very narrow there is no way around some of these hazards so it was down to us to clear the way!!

With a massive group and some pumping music from the neighbours we worked to a serious beat and tore up and down, left and right along every path in sight!! Clearing with expert precision and the occasional lunge for optimal scraping angle!

With most of the pathways in the back half of the parks beautifully cleared we munched on some pannetoni from Liz and zipped back to base!!

Thank you all from coming out tonight and look forward to seeing you again next week!

Enjoy

Joel
