Good Ol' New Town

Unusual time, unusual place, but many familiar faces met at Old Heath Rec for a Saturday afternoon Goodgym Starter Session. After a chilly parkrun morning, I was hoping for a warmer afternoon, but the icy cold wind meant we all got rather cold as we signed up.

Theresa met us with the equipment having filled up an entire bin bag from litter picking on the Old Heath Rec.

We welcomed Charlotte, for her first Goodgym run, and then we made our way to Simon's Lane, which was the site of our last starter session back in April.

Whilst there was a LOT of litter to pick, the most interesting piece of litter was probably two full unopened cans of beer.

An extra long task of litter picking and we returned to dump the bags at Theresa's house before making our way back to the rec. There we were just about to finish up, when Tav showed up with a frisbee, football and another whistling rocket thing, so we had about 20 minutes of acting like big kids and trying not to get hit by various flying objects.

All in all a fun afternoon in New Town, and a good deed done for the local community.
