A few GoodGym members decided to do some litter picking in their local area. I joined up with fellow Goodgym Member Daniel to do some paired litter picking in a particularly bad area of Barnet. Check out some of the other photos and messages.

With GoodGym we litter pick fast, Clearing rubbish that’s left or amassed, It’s good for the mind, And the planet combined, Leaving us fit and refreshed at last!

Hi Paul. Sally and I did this month's paired plogging yesterday. Didn't take long as lots of plastic bottles containing dubious liquids soon filled up our bags. Ugh! We jogged into Regent's park afterwards to see the Frieze sculptures.

Back to the bee roads of Blackheath this month and a mile loop round one of the larger fields that I often use for intervals, it it bordered by the A2 and a couple of other less busy roads. There was a lot more than last time I did it, around three bin bags full, mainly takeaway rubbish, presumably thrown out of car windows. On a positive note there were still far more wild flowers and mushrooms than rubbish.
