Searching for treasure
3 GoodGymers made their way 2.4km to help their local community in Redbridge.

On his way in another time James noticed rubbish accumulating, so the three of us set off down the road to go and sort it out.
Of course one cannot just walk past loose bits on the way there, so it became more of a plot. A set of bushes along the side of the road might need a different plan of attack... one that includes protective clothing and some secateurs.
Chatting along the way time flew by and bags were filling up. As always there were some odd items, from a bit of balustrade to (half a) crutch to huge ABBA poster and of course a wide collection of rubbish in all shapes & sizes.
Even on the way back the temptation became too much and a few more bits found their way into the bin.
Job well done and light starting to fade earlier these days, it was time to round it off and make our way home.
Next session in two weeks will likely helping out around Wanstead House, Babybank tbc on the 30th
