Loading up my bag with a quiver of unweildy litterpickers, I jogged to the Red Tower to meet today's GoodGym army of Christine, Vicky and Mitch. After an introduction to the tower and our mission, we set to work. Using a pincer move we split into two teams, one taking on the outside of the walls, the other attacking from within!

There was actually not that much litter for once, which was nice, although Vicky found quite a bit blown/dropped against the wall bases. After no time at all the battle had been won and we returned to base to celebrate with a short video about York's community cafés, before some posing by the walls and our runs home.
