On a very pleasant Monday evening , two GoodGymers headed off towards Byker in order to get fit, pick up some litter and deliver some GoodGym flyers.

Success was achieved in all three regards. A short, but undulating run to start with, followed by clearing Byker High Street and some of the surrounding streets of much of the litter. There must be a high proportion of smokers in the area as the sheer volume of cigarette ends were impossible to pick up, so we concentrated on larger items. The evening finished with delivering the GoodGym flyers on the boundary between Byker and Heaton.

The only failure on the day was Scott's litter picker, which had developed a crack in the handle. Scott managed to put it back together several times, but that litter picker has gone into retirement.
