River cruise
15 GoodGymers made their way 7.3km to help their local community in Hackney.
- Tuesday, 16th of July 2019
- Led by Joel Wiles
15 Sun soaked GoodGymers ran 6k to the River Lea to litter pick and cut bat prickly over hanging vegetation!
A beautiful summers evening with a picturesque inner city running route took us through Well Street Common, Victoria Park and along the River path of the River Lea.
3k down and we picked up our grabbers, bin liners and cutters then headed out in both directions to reduced the waste getting into the waterways!
Clearing tins, cigarette butts, plastic bottles while printing back any invading overhanging prickly branches from Hackney Wick to the Limehouse Cut.
With everything we could see swept, picked and trimmed we dumped it off fir recycling and headed off back to base taking in the sights and sounds of London Town!
6k all complete with a little stretch out to make sure we are all good to go.
We headed off to relax and refuel!!
See you next week for our Hackney Parks visit
