Tonight's task had Everything I Wanted - a fruitful litter pick and a bit of exercise in a way only GoodGym can do it!

Visiting one of the local underpasses, an early find from Dave was a carrier bag full of bangles - hence a report dedicated to 80s Pop Princesses, The Bangles.

Judy discovered an Eternal (Flame) stream of cans amongst the bushes, and the rest of us had to Walk Like An Egyptian to avoid being bopped on the head by them as they were launched, missile style, to be crushed for recycling.

Katie vowed "I'll Set You Free" to an impressive array of scarves - it was like watching a magician pull handkerchiefs from a hat as she deftly pulled a never ending chain of them from amongst the brambles.

Tracey came Walking Down Your Street with four-legged GoodGymer Ollie, who was very good at sniffing out litter!

Much to the confusion of a local Colas worker, we started a new kind of race - the Vodka Bottle Relay! Jen, Dave and Katie took it in turns to run up the underpass to the bottle bank to deposit our finds. Mr Colas also gave us a couple of extra bags as we found so much litter!

Not so much a Manic Monday but a Winning Wednesday. Most productive and pleasant evening, thanks everyone!
