Report written by Anwen Greenaway

At first glance Longbridges Nature Park and Iffley Meadows don't look too badly afflicted by litter, but once you know where to look there is (sadly) plenty of trash to be found.

Our 22 GoodGymmers, plus GoodGym mascot Peggy, divided into 4 teams to clean up different areas of the nature park. 2 teams worked on the banks where people throw litter into Longbridges Nature Park from the main road above, 1 team took to the footpaths of the park ferretting out the trash left behind after picnics and barbeques, and the last team skirted the edge of Iffley Meadows dicing with barbed wire and brambles to reach elusive cans and crisp packets.

As a team we collected 18 sacks of litter and got very close to the full house on GoodGym litter pick bingo: hub caps, masks, cans, bottles, carpet, takeaway containers, moss-covered underwear, socks and gloves all featured.

Excellent work team - hope you've dried out and warmed up now!

Welcome Sophie and Hattie - much kudos for turning up to your first GoodGym session despite the filthy weather!

Thank you to Michael from Oxford City Council for meeting us to take the litter away for disposal.
