You need a place cleaned? Wheelbarrow some litter pickers off you and get the job done
32 GoodGymers made their way 2.0km to help the Train Wood in Norwich.

Tonight's task saw us go to Marriott's Way to do a litter pick and there were 32 of us in the process!
Angela, Gemma & Angelika were taking part in their 1st GoodGym encounters so a big welcome to you all :-)
Rich was taking part in his 25th good deed!
Elizabeth & Andy shared back runner duties.
It was a short 1km each-way run tonight and everyone decided to run so no-one walked this week.
Adrian met us at the start of Train Wood and gave us the litter pickers, bin bags and gloves. He then told us the areas that needed covering and we assembled in groups and hit the litter (not literally).
Due to the weather this summer a lot of areas have over grown so were unreachable but this didn't stop the team getting plenty of rubbish including a chair and a wheelbarrow! Credit to Darren for the pun - unless you say it in a Norfolk accent it might not make sense!
The group were delighted to avoid running up Grapes Hill on the way back, once my calf injury is better we'll make up for lost time ;-)
I'm now away for 2 weeks so Katy will be at the helm - please support her on the next 2 group runs, which starts next week when you visit Catton Park to do path repairs.
