Please note that this group run has been cancelled.

Plogging is a combination of the Swedish term "plocka up" (to pick up) and the "jogga" (jog). So plogging is exactly what we will be doing on Wednesday afternoon this week.

Armed with litter pickers and bin bags we'll set forth from the Leeds University Union at 3pm on Wednesday 9th February to jogga and plocka any rubbish as and where we find it. I will bring litter pickers with me and bin bags. If you have gardening gloves please wear them. 

There's plenty of litter to plocka so we'll not be running far or fast, I imagine we'll probably cover no more than about 5K in total with lots of stops to remove refuse.

If we have people join who would prefer to walk, we can split the group so that half run and the other half walk. We will all meet back at the student union at 4pm.

Due to difficulties with engagement, this afternoon session is being cancelled. For anyone that has signed up, we will have our usual evening group run meeting at 6pm at Abbey House Museum. We will be painting chairs for KVDT. It would be great to see you there!
