This morning several of us gathered at Sloughbottom Park to do the Norwich Park Run - a nice route around the edge of the playing fields and then along the Marriots Way, a disused railway track now used regularly by walkers, cyclists and runners including those doing the Park Run. A lovely green route, providing plenty of shade on a hot Saturday morning, but with trees, bushes and brambles growing over the pathway making access a bit restricted in places. Not to worry though as this was down for a Community Mission for us Goodgymers to tackle once we had finished running. The Park Run organisers were well prepared for us with gloves, tools and binbags ready for us to head out. Once on the Marriots Way we roughly split into 2 groups heading off in opposite directions to tackle the vegetation and litter. Roughly an hour later and we were back at the pavilion with 2 bags of litter and satisfied Goodgymers who had all done a great job of making the pathways clear for everyone.
