Tonights task had us heading to Rock Street to meet Karen from Pitsmoor Pickers and some friends to help clear Rock St which can get littered up!

Once we found Karen who was already picking away, we got tooled up with bags, pickers and hoops and headed up hill on either side of the road, picking as we went.

Karen was on cans, so we collected seperate piles of these to be recycling in the future and cashed in to pay for other litter picking equipment.

At the end of the session Rachel very kindly offered us all some treats that were left over from her 100th Park Run celebrations at the weekend. They were DELICIOUS and very much appreciated, thank you again Rachel!

Until next time, happy running! :)

3 women ran to Pittsmoor. Met up with Karen and her friendly and helpful volunteers. There was fly tipping. sleeping bag and loads of cans, bottles and more rubbish. We found 2 pairs of shades , both in good working order for us to pose.

We met with the lovely Pitsmoor Pickers to strengthen their own numbers and fight the ongoing local battle against litter.

It was great to have local neighbours come out to thank us and see how they could get involved.

There were a few hot spots where people seemed to have essentially fly tipped a load of stuff, so it was good to get rid of these.

In a short space of time we collected a lot of rubbish that Karen will report for the council to come and collect.

Until next time, happy running! :)

We were back to help our good friends at Pitsmoor Pickers last night at a hot spot for litter bugs and fly tippers!

We met Rachel at the task who was putting in some extra mileage before the group run! TOP work Rachel!

On arrival we gave a wave to Malcolm who was busy with his customized rake and bucket, doing a very efficient litter collection.

We grabbed bags, hoops and pickers and got straight to work, separating cans from other rubbish so these can be collected, recycled and funds put back into the picking group for future equipment.

After a good session the patch of road was looking soooooo much better than before, with larger items also being left for the council to collect.

TOP work team!

3 Goodgymmers ran to Pittsmoor and met up with Danielle and 2 more Pittsmoor volunteers. We split into 2 teams. The 3 Goodgymmers collected litter and a bag full of cans on the main road where the Takeaways and Restaurants were. We were greeted by the locals and wishing us 'Hapoy Eid'. Some even started to help us filling our litter bags and praised us for doing a good deed. It was a nice. sunny evening and we chatted to some of the locals. It was a pleasant task.

Fantastic to welcome a new runner tonight, please give it up for...

Phoebe

Give Phoebe a whoop, hola and cheer!

We headed over to Pistmoor Road this evening to meet with MARVELOUS MALCOLM who had already been on site for a while getting the worst of the litter onto the pavement for us to swoop in and take the 'glory picks'.

There were some true treats in store with some very old rubbish which was fast becoming part of the geology of the area, had we not have got in there!

A decent pile was presented at the end for the council to later come and pick up.

Until next time, happy running! :)
