Four good gymers headed off in the early evening sunshine to chantry park this evening for some litter picking.

Great to see Natasha back for the first time since completing not one but two marathons recently. What an achievement! In awe of your commitment!

And Imogen and Bruce too who got stuck in - even bringing their own gloves at such short notice. Loved hearing about their bbq at the weekend and Bruce's former foray into cross country.

Natalie channeled her inner lobster with some formidable litter pickers looming precariously out of her bag as they faced the hill up to the park together. Quite a sight.

But the gang were more than rewarded with the golden hour light and gentile scenes of the local cricket club playing once they arrived. And thanks to the cricket team who kindly disposed of the rubbish collected: a high proportion of energy drink cans and rogue plastic.

Thanks everyone, great work!
