What a sweeping success it was tonight! A lovely evening and a hearty 8km's under our belts.

It was good to be back in the Goodgym groove and catch up with the news after missing Bob's 100th good deed last week! There are many areas reaching milestone birthdays, such as Brighton and Chelmsford and our 3rd birthday is fast approaching...party time! Emma and Catherine both completed the West Bergholt 5 miler in style.

Off we set for a scenic route to John Lampon Court, following the river and heading past Old Heath Recreation ground. We met Barry, a resident, at the door and he kindly showed us the equipment and we set to work with a little bit of Dick Van Dyke's singing to inspire the sweeping!

Litter was picked, weeds were dispatched and pathways were swept. Barry, who knew little about Goodgym, was very grateful and we too thanked him for his time and help. We surely made a great first impression!

On the return route we took the familiar and shorter choice but clocked up another 3km. Holly had never run that far and Beth had eaten deep fried pickled onions as a warm up snack...so well done both of you!

We did some stretching and Emma did a handstand! Next week we will show that we #loveparks .
