If you come in the woods tonight, you know you'll get a surprise

It's bank holiday, it's rained most of the day, Norwich City had their promotion parade in the city - you think everyone would go home and put their feet up for the evening... but no, not the 23 amazing volunteers who wanted to do a litter pick on Marriott's Way to make the city cleaner.

It was Becky and Laurie's 1st GoodGym experience so a big welcome to them both.

Hayley has now completed 50 good deeds so a black t-shirt should be on its way to you soon.

It was great to see Darren and Jen back after their virgin marathons at London and Bungay.

Being a shorter distance task tonight, there was a walk option so Robert kindly volunteered to be Walk Leader with Catherine/Katy back runners for the running pack.

We arrived on Marriott's Way to see their lovely new entrance gate, styled like a railway station like it used to be years ago. Adrian from Friends of Train Wood met us there with litter pickers, gloves and bin bags.

The team assembled into pairs and off they went round different parts to collect as much litter as they could. It was a difficult task as lots of the nettles and greenery have suddenly shot up over the last 2 weeks, making it more difficult to spot the lurking litter.

One group did find a little party area full of interesting things, one which influenced the pun but I shall not go into anymore details on that!

45 minutes later the team reassembled at the starting point and gathered all of the bags of rubbish ready for the council to collect.

We still had around 20 minutes so we ran up Grapes Hill on the way back before finishing in Chapelfield Gardens for the time trial, which we hadn't done for a while. Just as I was about to get the group lined up, Katy kindly reminded me last time we did it she said she would time it next time so I could run it... much to my original disgust haha, it was quite nice to actually be able to have a go at it myself.

At the end of the session, Bill & Katy handed out some of their home grown rhubarb before Bill found an old photo of him that looks like a spitting image of Elliott, so we all know what Elliott will look like when he's 70!

Next week we're visiting Eaton Park.
