Report written by Steven Hitcham
Well that was by far the wettest GoodGym run we've had to date in Norwich, what a fun evening dodging puddles for 8.5km haha.
No new runners this week, I sure wouldn't have gone to my 1st session in that weather but we still had an epic turn out of 31 GoodSwymers willing to swim/run 8.5km to do an outdoor task of a litter pick at West Earlham Woods... are we mad?! I'd say just legendary and dedicated.
Bill volunteered as back runner and Hayley as photographer with Mel chipping in too. Not a great evening for trying to take photos but they got some gems.
Noel and the Friends of West Earlham Woods greeted us with litter pickers, bin bags and gloves and we grouped into at least 4's with a head torch in each group so we could actually see where we were going.
As usual, there was plenty of litter to collect and considering the conditions we did a fantastic job.
The rain kept getting heavier as the evening went on but a bit of moisture didn't harm anyone and then we set off for the long journey back.
Let's hope for less rain next week when we sort beer donations for Break.

Enjoyed this task despite the rain. Can we collect rubbish from the bottom of River Wensum next. Like a challenge
