2 Goodgymers joined the ducks along the Grand Union Canal for a litter pick.

We started the session with a good run out through Victoria Park and along the river before meeting the canal to reach the Emscote Road bridge in Warwick. From here we plogged our way back along the canal towards Leamington.

It was great to see that the canal had stayed relatively clean since our pick a few weeks ago, but some of the litter hot spots along the route didn't fail to deliver and we still managed to collect 2 full bin bags of rubbish. We also enjoyed spotting some of the pretty flowers that were still in bloom along the canal.

It was then a short jog back to the pump rooms for a quick cool down.

We're the charity who look after and bring to life 2,000 miles of waterways, because we believe that life is better by water. Our research shows that spending time by water, whether it be your lunchbreak, daily commute or just a weekend stroll, really can make us feel happier and healthier.
