Woo hoo! What a turn out, 12 GoodGymers for our first litter pick of 2024, undeterred by the chilly temperatures 🥶
Tonight we were joined by 3 newcomers, Abbie Natasha and Megan. it was lovely to meet you and well done on your first good deed!
James led the group of walkers who set off while the rest of us warmed up for our run. Armed with hoops, litter pickers and binbags we made our way to the litter picking destination, starting at Gosford Park.
The crew made their way across the fields picking up any bits of litter but from what we could see, with it being poorly lit, it was surprisingly clean.
Deciding our efforts could be put to better use elsewhere we headed to Walsgrave Road and found a few dumping hotspots. The only time you are happy to see litter is when you are on a litter pick! We made sure these patches were spic and span before heading back to base. A few people stopped to thank us tonight too which was lovely, good to know people appreciate what we do.
In total we managed to collect about 4 large bin bags full of trash which is brilliant and according to strava we covered around 3 miles. Great work everyone! hope you've all warmed up at home and can feel your fingers again now
Catch you next week 👋
