Report written by Joel Wiles

Share the love

21 GoodGymers ran over 6k to Old Ford lock your Plog along the River Lea to keep the waterways clean and plastic free.

Great to have a top turn out for a solid run out to the borough boundary to help the Canal and River trust with their efforts to keep London’s waterways clean and contamination free.

Running a new route now that Victoria Park is too dark to run through, which added an extra 400m each way to our running fun!

Reaching Old Ford Lock the site of the 90’s TV brilliance that was Big Breakfast!! After a quick peer into the garden we grabbed what tools we had to hand and got to work!!

With lots of construction around it was difficult not as much rubbish but we grabbed what we could and used our super long grabbers to good use fishing plastics out of the river!

After a little throw and catch with some dogs on the walk we headed back to the store, washed up and ran off into the night!!

Great to have you along and hope to see you next week for a visit to Abney Park to finish off the woodchip pathway we started last week!!

Enjoy

Joel
