On a delicious Mon evening in Sheffield we headed across town and uphill to Somerset Park to meet with the local legend that is Karen from Pitsmoor pickers to help this group keep the area litter free and sparkling.

We met with Karen and four other pickers including a new born baby and got tooled up with pickers, hoops and bags and got straight to it.

Cans were collected separately as Karen takes these away to get recycled.

Karen embraced her arty side and painted some messages, encouraging park users to bin their rubbish.

Once done, bags were collated, labeled and reported ready for collection by the council.

Until next time, happy running! :)
