4 Goodgymers supported Leam Trash Friends and helped to clean up their local area by carrying out a litter pick around South Leamington.

After a quick warm up at the Fat Pug we headed out on our 1.5 mile run, taking in the full stretch of beautiful Victoria Park to the start location for tonight's pick along Queensway.

Starting at McDonald's we picked along the full length of Queensway on both sides of the road - mainly collecting food wrappers and bottles. It was a bit squelchy underfoot after the recent rain but thankfully stayed dry for us this evening. We had accidentally brought more rubbish sacks than planned but this was lucky as they were soon getting quite heavy to carry!

We collected 4 bags of rubbish in total and left these for Leam Trash Friends to kindly collect for us before heading back towards town on a slightly different run route that still included going back up Milverton Hill. Even after the hill everyone had a little bit left in the tank for a sprint finish back to the Fat Pug.

Another job well done and it was great catching up on everyone's news from the week including new jobs and cats!

Looking forward to next week when we'll hopefully be returning to the Kenilworth Centre to finish off the gardening task we started last week.
