Getting Trollied on a Wednesday Night

This week our group run was part of the Great British Spring Clean for Keep Britain Tidy.

We only had a short distance to run so after our warm up we first headed across to Manor Park for a lap and then some relay dashes across the park to get our distance up.

Well warmed up with all that on what was a chilly windy evening, we moved on to meet with Kevin from ABCD Luton, who is leading a clean sweep across Luton, working with loads of local community groups to make a complete chain of litter picks from North to South.

Our stretch seemed fairly simple and clear but once we started probing the bushes with our pickers we soon found loads of litter. We ended up with one trolley 🛒 and 11 bags of rubbish, including a small bucket of pickled herrings, a shoe, a boot and a Christmas bauble among all the usual foot and drink wrappers.

finally back to Manor Park where the basketball court hosted our super quick six minute abs session before we had a cool down walk back to our start point.
