8 Goodgym Yorkies headed out to a little known park area off Grange Lane to help cut back the edge of a wooded area which had become a bit of a hot-spot for fly-tipping and poo bag-abandoning. Spurred on by brand new loppers, the team soon got to work and made great progress in clearing back the trees and brambles in order to be able to reach the rubbish underneath.

Undeterred by an inordinate amount of cheap cider cans and poo bags the brave GG'ers managed to fill 7 huge bags of rubbish, as well as clear enough of the overgrowth to allow for more litter picking another time. Tyres, children's slippers and energy drink cans were no match for our team, although Barbara did seem a bit more cautious about picking up a fire extinguisher which had been left in amongst the detritus

Once the piles of branches were cleared from the path, the team grabbed the rubbish bags and headed back across the park, but not before receiving a huge thank you from a local dog walker who could already see the vast improvement
