Rock the boat

5 Goodgymmers ventured out in Canoes with the Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre's River Litter pick, joined by 4 other volunteers too to pick litter from the river, the weather was on our side today.

Stu was telling me how he had never been in a canoe but he looked very chilled paddling. Tommo and his canoe pal Jay managed to pull out a whole bike along with 2 footballs and plenty more rubbish. Nick and his canoe partner pulled out so much litter that their canoe was so unbalanced they had to unload at base before anyone got wet. Me and Jimmy played it very safe neither of us were getting wet I have a run on Sunday and Jimmy had a 40 min cycle each way, we still found lots of grot and a football!

Was really proud of how everyone looked out for each other and the other volunteers, helping each other out of the canoes, checking we were all ok on the water and tidying away all of the kit, the pursuits centre looked after us well too. It was a big task, 3 hours of hard work and everyone did amazing pulling out 16 bags in total plus a bike. Weldone all keep doing good getting fit.
