A few heavy showers prior to our departure made tonight's elephant washing task slightly easier with all the sculptures on Elmers Big Parade getting a good soaking.

After a quick red shirts v black shirts warm up game of "tag" we set off with the aim of covering most of Elmers Big Parade and cleaning as many of the elephants as posssible.

Along the way and in between washing and polishing, we carried out various "fit" challenges including press ups, dips, step ups and steps circuits and even a few interval sprints.

A multitude of photos were taken with a variety of elephants across Ipswich town centre. It was lovely bumping into families out walking the trail and even offering to help us with the cleaning!

With just over 3 miles completed, 30+ elephants cleaned and checked for damage (and only one heavy rain shower) we were back at our Waterfront base for a cooldown stretch.

The Elmers Big Parade really has brought a great feel to Ipswich over the summer, with literally thousands of people visiting to see the elephants. It's been wonderful for Goodgym to play a small part in helping maintain the amazing sculptures.
