Lower Castle Park Bridge, the outdoor gym and Bull Meadow are a fair bit cleaner tonight after a good haul by four Goodgym heroes! The secrets we found include a cycle path sign in the ling grass and a cat collar in a ditch...someone out there destroyed a signpost and threw away whilst a cat is now free of a bell and blue collar treatment.

The litter which is all too familiar and not secretive at all is the McDonalds packaging, mars, snickers wrappers, broken beer bottles, cigarettes and plastic bags.

A short chat to a local resident got me thinking about connection...she was a little blunt, without a hello or thank you and fairly opinionated about young people leaving litter behind. But did she take the easy option? Moaning to friendly litter pickers is easy but I wonder if she has ever sat down and chatted to the teenagers at the park? Connect rather than shame and blame?

Anyway...after the litter pick the team attacked Castle Park's hills twice for a sharp fitness burst!

The topsy-turvy weather held off for us other than a light sprinkle as we headed for home!
