Four goodgymers joined community members for a litterpick around Baron's Pond on an extra special sunny saturday morning.

We'd had a busy morning; Beth, Chris and Tish had taken part in parkrun, while I gave out finish tokens. This was Beth's 200th parkrun event which called for celebration and sweet treats.

A leisurely wander around the pond collecting discarded wrappers, bottles and cans ensued. With pistachio chocolates and cookies to fuel us we had soon filled several bags. Not to be deterred by the farthest to reach rubbish, armed with the longest litterpicker [8ft XXL and at least twice the size of Beth and me], Chris made light work of the job. So long litter!
