Essex Waterways (Inland Waterways)
The beautiful 14 mile Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation is looked after by Essex Waterways. This waterway runs through a largely unspoilt part of rural Essex. It connects the town of Chelmsford with the river Blackwater at Heybridge Basin. Essex Waterways manages and maintains the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation as a subsidiary company of The Inland Waterways Association. Essex Waterways Ltd took over the management of the Navigation in 2005, in order to save the waterway from closing.

We'll be doing some litter picking around Springfield Basin. This is a great session to sign up to if you're new to GoodGym and want to see what it's all about. We chat as we run so there is plenty of opportunity to get to know people.

We meet outside The Old Factory Gym. They have changing facilities, toilets and lockers if you need them. You will need to bring a padlock for the locker.

Please arrive on time so we can leave promptly at 6.30pm. If you can't make it please let us know or cancel your registration so we know not to wait for you.
