Peter and Ben met up for a light jog and litter pick in Manchester.

After meeting outside the Central Library in St Peter's Square, we made the run to Hulme park. The park itself was thankfully spotless, but the surrounding area and places near the road and footbridge had seen a build up of litter and discarded waste. We collected 7 full bags in total plus other large items consisting of:

• Pillows
• Shoes
• Lots of drinks bottles and cans
• Car bumper
• Piping
• Cones
• Road signs
• Lamp post covers

After clearing the area, we made the run down to Barrack park (aka St George's park) that again, was generally tidy near the play area and football pitches (where a man decided to have a swing at golf...) Around the outskirts, however, we found more debris mostly consisting of food & drink packaging. We did also find some large mushrooms although likely not edible.

After placing the rubbish bags in easy to collect places, we took pictures and noted the What3Words location to pass on to Keep MCR Tidy to ensure collection this week.

After a short jog back, we enjoyed a swift pint at Wetherspoons to chat about holidays, GoodGym Shindig, moving house, and the state of modern football. Cracking way to spend a Monday evening.
