Dodged the showers to do my local September litter pick . Collected a bag of dumped cans and rubbish from my area. Was nice to receive a ‘Thank you’ from a resident.

5 Fantastic Goodgymmers made their way to litter pick a stretch between the popular coffee house Jenno’s and Sainsbury’s as the area seems to be a litter trap. It was heaving even on a Friday morning so we made sure the leaflet stand was well stocked with GoodGym leaflets.

On route we found so many cans that we bagged those up separately and Nick is going to take them along to the Air ambulance charity where they get cash for cans.

Dawn found a tooth brush and I found a flattened pound coin that I donated to Stu, think he would have rather of had one he could spend.

3 full bags plus a sack of cans we were finished and ready for coffee, where we met Cliff and Lindsay’s cute little dog Alfie. Running Legend Stu was telling us about trip to Wales this weekend to run the 10km in Snowdonia, good luck!

Weldone team another morning well spent doing something good together.

Who knew that Sainsbury's slogan is now 'Good food for all of us'?

5 Goodgymmers took part in the Food Bank Run, a movement created by Hampshire based running club, Fareham Running Club, encouraging every group to create their own Food Bank Run. With backpacks filled we carried our donations to our local Foodbank donation site in Sainsbury's.

Nick had suggested bringing the litter pickers too which was a great idea, there's always plenty of litter on this route with fast-food outlets galore and tin can alley. 2 full bags of rubbish on our travels.

Shout out to Gareth on his first GoodGym Good deed and first completely new member of the year. Great to meet you and chat about your trail running adventures, hopefully see you again.

Lovely to see Lynn and hear about her first Run Director role at Junior parkrun, enjoy your parkrun tourism tomorrow along with Mel and Stu. Great morning walk with a purpose and lovely sociable walk in the sunshine.

Weldone all coming along and giving so much enthusiasm to the task.

7 GoodGymmers litter picked an area beady eyed Stu had spotted where the hedges had been cut, uncovering litter.

4 GoodGymmers walked to the task and the others met there ready to pick.

Interesting finds of the day- Mel found a boot Nick a bottle of yellow water Dawn a burst bike inner tube

Weldone everyone fantastic efforts all round 3 full to the brim bags of litter no longer littering route 6 cycle route to Abbey Park.

6 Goodgymmers met to fill our litter bags with any rubbish in our tracks on a sociable walk from Everards Meadows. Joined by Gwen and Tracey from GoodGym Derby. We set off with the sun shining chatting about the weekly goings on and our parkrun destinations for the weekend ahead.

There was plenty of rubbish to pick from, Tracey and Nick even attempted to fix one of the supermarket signs that had become detached from a post.

3 full bags later our time was up and we grouped together for coffee, teas and cake in the local coffee shop.

6 Goodgymmers took on the GG double day litterpicking Route 6 National Cycle Route. Stu finding an apple, that could be very hazardous to cyclists and pedestrians.

To be honest the route was not bad which is surprising how badly the route suffered with flooding, enough litter to fill a bag between us all on a nice leisurely 2 mile walk with lovely company. All the signs on the route looked clean and well visible, including the repeater signs we added last year.

Gwyn and Tracey from GoodGym Derby joined us for the double, always a pleasure, such a friendly pair and lots in common with the GoodGym Leicester members that we always have so much to talk about.

Weldone team and fantastic efforts taking on the double today, nice to have one task indoors and one outdoors on a very cold but sunny day, perfect.
