Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Tav (he/him)
Over the years Goodgym has only stopped for really severe weather, although I am sure some people would have still gone out in the storms, snow and wind!
Tonight was a frosty affair, with both the fact that litter picking often is a frustrating task and the low temperatures. Annabel summed up the strange feeling of leaving without totally clearing an area of litter but nevertheless we did make an impact. We often find strange things in bushes, but never have we found two helmets. A Hard hat and a cycle helmet.
We almost filled four bin bags just on a short stretch of pathway not helped by the bottles and cans being full of ice.
With the temperature dropping we tied up the bags, warmed up rapidly and had a short battle with gravity on Balkerne Hill.
Well done litter warriors!
