This Wednesday’s task was in honour of This Girl Can's "Let's Lift the Curfew" campaign, highlighting the inequality that women face as the long nights set in when it comes to exercising and travelling in public places.

Quite aptly, 3 GoodGym Nottingham gals - Hannah, Sarah and Rachel - attended this task, litter picking around Forest Rec.

This was our first dark task after the clocks changed, so we donned our head torches and hi-vis vests so that we could spot the litter and keep an eye on each other as we made our way around the park.

We decided to concentrate on the side of Forest Rec where the litter tends to congregate near the wall. As well as the usual bottles, cans, sweet wrappers and tissues, we bagged ourselves a wheel from a child’s police bike and a little shining star! At one point we thought we had lost Hannah, but turns out she was in a bush unearthing a massive haul of old batteries that had probably been there for quite some time – ‘girl power’!
