Last night was our first group run of 2022 and we marked it with a chilly run around Kings Park. The home of Bournemouth Park Run.

We met up by the Cricket Cafe and all wrapped up nice and warm to combat the fresh chill in the air.

We used John's car to store the litter pickers to allow us to run a little more freely. John was fresh off a 50km trail run...and he's firmly got his eyes on much longer distances!! What a guy!!! Give him a cheer!

We tried to stick to the lit up paths but ran out of light and ended up having to rely on our head torches. Not Amber though, who lost hers to her dog!

We did a loop and collected the litter pickers, handed out gloves and started on our hunt for rubbish.

Highlight finds were some "heavy" pants and a heavy chain..quite tame compared to our usual finds.

Next week we are at St Peter's Church to help them with a New Year clean of their grounds.

We'll be running there but remember you're welcome to cycle along or meet us at the church if you're unable to run/cycle!
