5 of us started running from The Showroom. We stopped a couple of times to take photographs of The Big Moon. It was so low, big and bright and we were all over the moon. Nice evening for a run to meet the Sustrans team. John explained that it is no more called Sustrans but it is now known as 'Walk,, Cycle , Wheel Trust'. We worked hard but fast as we are all fit. The team were very impressed of how fast we tackled the street and collected cans, trash and rubbish. Simon came to join us too on his bike and trailer and he worked very hard too and longer than us because we all waited and chatted with the others. Eventually Simon came but were all still busy taking photographs of the Big moon.

Goodgymmers Annie, Ines, Tim and Celine met up with national cycke network champions Sustrans Craig, Gerry, William and John to attack super hot grot spot at the corner of maltreated Maltravers road and Cricket Inn.

We bagged up an incredible amount of rubbish in no time at all - many hands holding litterpickers make light work!

Storm Floris was blowing, the rains had raged earlier, but the sun was now making an appearance and a "live and picking" team of hardened Goodgymers braved it outside to tackle the litter in the Grey to Green park and cycle path by the river Don.

To celebrate 300 good deeds, Céline was entrusted with the much coveted Sheffield GoodGym Cape.

Genial Gerry from Sustrans welcomed and tooled us up, and away we went into the Sustainable Urban Drainage System that are planted with beautiful flowers in bloom, pickers in hands and rubbish bags blowing like sails, buds in the SUDS!

Annie, right arm in a sling and picker in the left, undeterred by a recent gruesome fall from her bike, was determined to gather all the drinking cans - an amazing CAN DO attitude!

Both teams from GoodGym and Sustrans, all together, we managed to pick our way through all the beds along the river, and a real tower of rubbish bags was collected.

We were even treated to a welcome slice of chocolate cake from Gerry at the end, we got our just desserts, before heading for a meal at Sheffield plate to celebrate together.

Met up with Andy, then Simon. A briefing and discussion that the area we were supposed to clear up had been done already. So we all moved onto Nursery Street and we started clearing litter. Windy evening and loads of rubbish in corners and along pavements. Loads of cars parked and found soiled nappies, and other disgusting stuff. 4 of us managed to load at least 6 bags of litter. Andy brought a large flask of coffee and biscuits to share.

5 Goodgymmers ran up to Durham Ox and met up with David. He handed all the tools to us and explained the tasks. Mainly clearing the cycle paths, cutting off shrubs and bushes that are in the way. Also litter picking, sweeping and clearing. Later Simon Heller came to volunteer too. Lovely to see a familiar face again and I ended up in the pub with him. Bad Gymmer with a glass of small red wine but very enjoyable.

On a chilly and windy Mon eve we set off from our home of The Showroom cinema via the Five Weirs Walk route to meet with Gerry from Sustrans.

Gerry met us on site, the other side of the Spider's Bridge with tools and other Sustrans volunteers.

Our task was to clear litter and other detritus from a section of the National Cycle Network along the Five Weirs Walk route.

We got straight to it, picking litter, sweeping and scraping debris and bagging it up ready for the council to collect at a later date.

After a good session the patch was looking much better.

As we said our goodbyes Generous Gerry gave us some delicious homemade parkin to give us some energy for the return leg.

Until next time, happy running :)
