From Grey to (Cape) Verde

Sheffield Report written by Celine (she/her or they/them)

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.

Picking & Painting!

Sheffield Report written by Tom Mutton

On a delicious Mon evening in Sheffield we headed across town and uphill to Somerset Park to meet with the local legend that is Karen from Pitsmoor pickers to help this group keep the area litter free and sparkling.

We met with Karen and four other pickers including a new born baby and got tooled up with pickers, hoops and bags and got straight to it.

Cans were collected separately as Karen takes these away to get recycled.

Karen embraced her arty side and painted some messages, encouraging park users to bin their rubbish.

Once done, bags were collated, labeled and reported ready for collection by the council.

Until next time, happy running! :)

Job done

Sheffield Report written by Alex

Nice straight forward one today, it only took us about an hour and a half to finish and the couple were really happy with the work we did for them. I don't like taking photos of missions so I've uploaded a photo of Elsie the cat instead.

Windy, clear nappies and litter on Nursery Street

Sheffield Report written by Annie Anthony Mays

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.

Picking Up A Storm

Sheffield Report written by James Smith

We set off from the Showroom (which was much busier than usual thanks to DocFest) eager to take the high road to Burngreave to engage in some trashy behavior. There we met Malcolm and his team of Pitsmoor Pickers who were waiting for us at the junction of Andover St and Richmond St. Our job for the evening was to clear Somerset Open Space and the immediate vicinity of any rubbish. It turned out that there was quite a lot to pick up. Some notable finds were: a mattress, lots of large Nitrous Oxide canisters, and a few bike wheels. There was a little bit of drizzle whilst we were wombling away, but this didn't dampen our spirits.

After an hour of persistent picking we headed back to the Showroom to stretch off (and watch one of the documentaries being showcased there). I was unexpectedly thrust into the driving seat at the last minute for the session tonight. Therefore, I had not planned any fun fitness activities.
