The Goodgym HomeGuard to the Rescue!

7 runners met to help keep their local riverside clean

Following months of on-line only meetings it was a real tonic (sorry Elizabeth there was no gin to go with it!) to meet and greet in person and to get the litter- pickers out again. After a socially distanced parade on Bishop Bridge we enjoyed foraging beer tins in the undergrowth while chatting and catching up with how we’d all been spending our time in lockdown. At the end strawberries and gooseberries were dispensed to all.

Special mentions go to Bobby, who was back from a few weeks bobbing in the sea off the US, and to Robert, who paid his respects to Gas Hill as a warm-up for the task.

(Thanks Bill for writing this up.)
