On a chilly Wednesday, 5 intrepid GoodGymers braved the cold to tackle some of the litter on Southsea Common. Fortunately, due to the recent temperature drop, there wasn't loads of evidence of BBQs or parties...

We picked up plenty of bottle tops, cigarette ends, flushables that had washed over from the sea (crazy waves) and various food and drink wrappers.

Most interesting finds: full bottle of lucozade (?), empty bottle of lambrini, leopard print bikini strap, collection of shot glasses, leftovers of a chippy dinner including curry sauce (congealed) and the receipt...

We were also very pleased to be joined by Loki, a 4 legged honorary GoodGym member who belongs to Val's daughter.

We also got a run past from the Southsea run group, including Rosie in her wings. 😇

We learnt that Eli has loads of cheese jokes and she's promised to serve us a selection at many future get togethers!

It was lovely to see everyone and have a little wander about, catch up and fill a few bags of litter. 🚮
