Three Goodgymers braved the heavy rain and families of swans and geese to run 6km and collect three bags of litter on the Coventry canal.

Having not looked at the forecast, we left our waterproofs at the start point and started our run out to the Coventry canal. What started off as a light shower quickly turned into heavy rain as we plogged our way back towards the canal basin. Not long after passing under bridge three we encounted two swan parents and six cygnets blocking the path, so after a quick diversion, we rejoined the canal only to be diverted once more by a family of geese!

Absolutely soaking wet by this point, we made our way back through the city centre, wrung out our goodgym tshirts and went home for a hot shower and a cuppa!
