Meeting in Littleover ahead of events taking place for The Great Big Green Week, the group went on a litter picking session as a recce for a group run taking place next week.

Pete and Ashley led the way on a 2 mile litter pick through parkland and residential roads.

Although the group missed regular volunteer Mandy, it did give Ashley a higher chance of being litter picking champion of the night and he definitely won for 'best dressed according to the weather' with multiple layers suitable for a British summer.

Battling through the rain and chasing the sunshine breaking through clouds, the group collected a couple of bags worth of litter, mostly food, sweet and drinks packaging from around the park and outside of a school.

Well done for Pete for actively travelling to and from the session, Ashley for carrying out a recce ahead of leading a group run next week and Lewis for coming along despite being busy with wedding and moving plans and having some issues with his knee this week.

You can sign up to next week's group run where all abilities are welcome, whether you want to run or walk.
