Another month and another awesome litter picking by the Goodgymers. All were running somewhere at the same time : a great combination of running and cleaning up. Harvey running in Sweden, Ramona running with a friend in Isleworth and Steph Ducat in Southall and Ealing near Northfields allotments. Ramona ran early with her friend and collection bottles after wards that were in the park. Steph Ducat did a litterpick in Southall as was on a mission in the rea then did a 2nd one near Northfields allotments on Radbourne walk which is "heaven" for litter pickers. A lot of cans today, probably due to the heat. Also found loads of family related cards. Harvey litter picked in Hanwell during the week before shooting off on his Park run adventures abroad

5 awesome GoodGymers turned out for HANGOT's regular pre-Hootie task, to give Elthorne Triangle's orchard a short back, sides and everything else ready for the summer. The fruit trees there had seen weeds and wildflowers shoot up over the past weeks meaning that they were having to fight for water and light, so HANGOT wanted to give the trees the best chance of producing fruit for the community.

Sun cream was broken out ahead of Steph, Kash, Ramona, Eman and Sevan helping the HANGOT volunteers to chop, rake and wheelbarrow the overgrowth away. Frank and Lydia from HANGOT also had scythes to clear larger areas, so everyone else made sure to keep their ankles away from the sweeping blades. Today was Ramona's first GoodGym task and she did an amazing job, getting stuck into lots of different tasks. Welcome Ramona 👋🎉! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Together, the team freed the majority of fruit trees in the orchard, giving the pear, apple and cherry fruits the opportunity to grow juicy and strong this summer. The mature trees will have fruit ready for the public to forage in a few months 🍎🍐🍒.
