Tonight we were at our brand new city centre base, The Good Intent.

The session was a running workout followed by a litter pick outside the church on Carrs Lane.

We headed off to 'the hill' in the Jewellery Quarter to do some Kenyan hills. The workout was 8 minutes of Kenyan hills followed by 3 hard hill sprints. Everyone worked hard as you can see from the photos, the group were running so hard they caused a blur!

Once done we swung by our old base, 1000 Trades to pick up our litter pickers to take to our litter picking spot.

We managed a full bag of litter clearing the area in double quick time.

Once done, we walked back to the Good Intent for a well earned drink :)

I spent about an hour there to do the whole thing. So with even two people it would be done in a flash. There was a homeless person sleeping in one corner of the green space so I didn’t feel comfortable litter picking there but that’s probably good therapy for me as a recovering perfectionist. 😂 Definitely a bring a litter pick scenario since I found all sorts of stuff there. The only challenge was where to dispose of the trash afterward, since there was a lot of it. Luckily, the receptionist at the local Travelodge was really kind and offered to get rid of it for me. Overall a very rewarding mission and definitely a good candidate for a weekly litter pick. I’m not here next weekend, but if anyone is free to join me, I’ll be going the following Saturday.
