...No wages, bitter cold, an hour of freezing fog, safe return without slipping over doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.

6 full size (and one mini) GoodGymers channelled their inner Ernest Shackleton in a temperature of -2C, navigating the ice-packed shrubberies of Anchor & Hope Lane and the frozen wastes of Bugsby’s Way to chip icicle-covered crisp packets from the stone-hard earth.

Charlton is a little cleaner thanks to the 8 bags of rubbish collected – it was freezing but everyone’s warm heart obviously kept them going! A nice hot drink at the cafe warmed us up ready for the rest of our day.

Well done team! On Tuesday we're at WSUP sorting donations - sign up here and Wednesday we're back at Charlton Manor Primary.
