First of all, CONGRATULATIONS TO JUDY, who completed her 800th Good Deed this evening! What an outstanding achievement!

After some celebratory Jelly Babies (and ice-creams for those lacking in willpower), the runners completed the 2km Run Walk Local route before joining in with the litter pick.

Paddleboard UK had provided us with some new folding litter pickers and some super-strong rubbish sacks, so we got stuck in with cleaning the water ways of Hilsea Moat.

Only Jen was brave enough to de-shoe and paddle out to retrieve some litter, whilst others channeled their inner gymnast to balance, bend and extend to reach the discarded plastic bottles and cans. Thanks to Val and Andy for providing a Generation Game-esque relay handover from the banks to the Moat!

We pulled out a pair of socks, a rugby ball and a bike saddle, complete with post, as some of our more intriguing finds.

The ducks and swans seemed very satisfied when they returned to their freshly cleaned homes - great job everyone!

And the results are in!! In a stunning turn of events, we have four GoodGymers on the podium for the Golden Trainer Award - but no silver medal!

Joint third place, both finishing 23 seconds under their predicted time were Katie and Andy - nice one, guys!

And we also have JOINT WINNERS - with Judy and reigning champ Dave both coming in at 19 seconds faster than their predicted time. The trophy has gone home with Judy whilst I plan to fashion a second trophy for Dave. EPIC!

Looking back on previous years, this year's field were more accurate overall, with the biggest underestimating being just 91 seconds - we have had runners being 2.5 / 3 minutes out before, so super good work to everyone who took part. You certainly earned your Haribos.

After the celebrations were up, we were united with BRAND NEW GOODGYMER Sanat, who unfortunately missed the Golden Trainer due to poor postcode entry on the task... I'm very sorry, Sanat! In just over half an hour, we filled 4 bags of litter - with interesting finds including two socks (not a pair), a tie, some sunglasses and a dinosaur head!

We then added a bonus good deed by removing the protective polythene from some new hedgerow, as the leave were being flattened and restricted as the plants tried to grow. This did add another level of chaos as we tried to contain the polythene tubes.
