We returned to The original Pug this week and a new location in Leamington Spa for a chance to see what treasures we could find.
The session began with a mini warm up and then some little hill reps - easy peasy Beginning with a focus on arms, everyone had a go at giving each other the elbow Don't worry, everyone is still friends...
We then took a gentle jog to the Canal in Leamington Spa, where our start location happened to be opposite a student rave, we did a bit of disco dancing, whilst handing out equipment, and returned to do our very own vogue pose to the music- each for equal
We always have a good wombling adventure on our plogging outings, and this evening didn't disappoint.
Things we found included: A Hedgehog - the first time one of our GoodGymers has seen one thats not flat 6 bottles of vodka 1 bottle of corona - don't worry this was handled with gloves Crisp packets 100's of fag buts And a Ghost Hunter with his friendly dog......
Yep - our very own Leamington Spa Ghost Hunter, who told us about the 6ft man in top hat who prowls the canal and the Victorian Lady. (we didn't see them - but be warned next time you walk down there)
Our return leg was a run through the town to smell all the lovely food.
Next week we're off to Tesco to raise money for Warwick Sea Scouts - come along with a smile and cheer.
We're the charity who look after and bring to life 2,000 miles of waterways, because we believe that life is better by water. Our research shows that spending time by water, whether it be your lunchbreak, daily commute or just a weekend stroll, really can make us feel happier and healthier.
