Four GoodGymers arrived on the hottest day of the year to march around the common collecting litter.

Plogging is always a treasure trove hunt you never quite know what you will find..... today's hunt was a little disappointing in terms of treasure as many leaves decided to camouflage themselves as litter, adding a few meters walked.

The Mountain bike track was a good spot to clean up the scattered bottles, crisp packets and chocolate wrappers scattered around, although also a dangerous one where we had to keep an eye out for bikes whizzing past. It was decided that none of us was brave enough to chuck ourselves down the track anymore. Well unless it was on two feet... certainly not two wheels.

A total of 4 bags were cleared and a mammouth 2.9 miles walked in the heat.

It was great to see people in 3D and not 2D. Can't wait for next week....
