4 GoodGymers ran to help the Canal and River trust keep Coventry canals tidy and we welcomed back Andrew on his second group run with us.

We started at the normal spot, Priestley's Bridge (4) off the Leicester Causeway with our head torches shining bright! There was the usual suspects, take away boxes, cans and bottles but our strangest find was a poor little bag of bait looking very sad indeed - which we decided to leave rather than them going to waste.

With not much litter to be picked along the paths, we only managed to fill one bin bag between us. As we dropped the bin bag at the normal spot for collection we started to feel spots of rain, luckily it didn't get much heavier as we made our way back to base at CBGC.

I have returned to find a message to say that this evening was my 50th good deed and my much awaited black t-shirt is on its way, its only taken me 3 years!

Next week we will be back at Clothing Coventry so hope to see you there!
