Four dedicated goodgymers went out litter picking on the Newcastle Quayside on a very wet Monday evening.

To entertain ourselves we tried to find litter starting with the letters to spell out Newcastle Quayside. We just about managed to (creatively) fill all the letters. I found a weird leaflet asking 'have you thought about your soul?' which I was going to use for Q describing it as a 'quietly judgmental leaflet...' until will found some quality street wrappers at the last minute!

Here is our attempt:

N - number ticket E - elastic bland W - white top C - cup A - alcoholic beverage S - spoon T - tinfoil L - lid E - energy drink

Q - quality street wrapper A - apple juice U - used pizza box Y - yellow packet S -sauce pot I - Ickle purse D - drink bottle E - eggs (mini)

Well done everyone who braved the bad weather! If you want to get involved look out for future litter picks such as this one.
