It’s the litter things that count
4 GoodGymers made their way 6km to help the Friends of Hamworthy Park in Poole.

Four goodgymers met in Hamworthy Park on a gusty evening anxiously watching the storm clouds gather. Patricia led us inland on a 5k run to Rockley Park and back via Ham Common with a couple of scenic detours along the way. Yes, so we did get just a little bit lost – a mini magical mystery tour. Becky was keen to run up some hills (huh?) and proceeded to show us how it’s done. Meanwhile Robert did a sensible recovery run following his challenging Beast Race on the weekend with Patricia and Elizabeth keeping him company
Back at Hamworthy Park the original planned bench painting session was replaced with a litter pick because of the thundery weather forecast. We had a few spits and spots of rain but it basically stayed dry although definitely blustery. We spent a good half hour collecting discarded bottles, crisp packets and the usual bits and pieces before heading home as the skies darkened. The wind has blown the cobwebs away and although the benches remain unpainted for now the park is looking that little bit cleaner than before.
Thanks to Liz for leading whilst Esther is on hols!
