Six volunteers met at Upton Court park to litter pick the car park on a beautiful sunny morning. This was followed up with a muddy walk to Eton where we were joined by Abdul making us the magnificent 7. Jean ran back while the rest of us grabbed coffee and cake before the return walk to Upton Court Park.

Six 'good gymers' met in Upton Court Park on a windy morning to litter pick the green gym and car park areas before walking into Eton. This was our first walk of the year so it was good to catchup and share our news whilst getting some much needed fresh air. Some left us part way to continue their walk, Jean declaring she'd leave us at the church! A welcome coffee was had in Eton and a brisk return walk to Upton.

Five good gymers litter picked Upton Court car park area before walking to Eton on a bright sunny morning. Lots of mud after the rain and the river was high as well as everyone's spirits. We stopped for pastries and coffee before finding the Original Olympic Marathon sign , the horizontal statue and having a peak over the walk for the Eton Wall Game. Returned via the road and Jubilee river, a 7k round trip of enjoying our community, keeping the environment clean and general chit chat.

We had a great lunchtime task today of litter picking at Black Park whilst enjoying a lovely walk in this beautiful forest setting (fir for a film crew!).

We started the session with our newest Run Leader Jenny carrying out her practical assessment to finalise her Run Leader training. And what a marvellous job she did of welcoming us, giving us route and task briefing of highlighting all the risks and considerations! Well done Jenny

We then went off for an 'off the beaten track' walk. I personally was hoping Jenny and Helen knew where they were going as i was clueless!

Luckily they did!

As we walked and talked, we hunted for litter! There was hardly any there (which is great)! and we did 'fight' for the scraps of litter we could see until Alicia found the sole of a shoe!

An hour in and we had reached the cafe where Jenny completed her assessment with 5 cooldown stretches.

A lovely task with great company
