As the group gathered at Glass Mill, one thing was obvious, everyone's beaming smiles because it was still daylight (and we got most of the task done in daylight).

We began our run to Wildcat, a route we hadn't done in quite a while and after a couple of locks to unlock we made it into Wildcat and to where our supplies had been safely stored by Maria - thank you!

Bags and gloves distributed, it was time to tackle the rubbish that lay along the path. On first glance there wasn't that much but once we looked a bit harder, that's when we found the rubbish and we found some gems: a lobster, a burger and football.

There was a large patch of rubbish that was proving too difficult for one person alone so we sent in the heavy lifters (Miguel and Oli) with top of the range protective gear (shorts) and equipment (the biggest bag we could find) who hauled the last of the rubbish out of the tight spot in the trees.

Vic arrived just in time for the group photo and most importantly in time for pizza! A team of 4 top GG-ers made their way back to Glass Mill and then back to Mamma Dough whilst the rest of the group detoured straight to pizza and missed out on 2km of running!

Next week we are heading to Senior's to help in the garden.
