Amy, Ryan, Balal and John picked litter on our adopted section of the canal today. This task hadn't been done in quite some time so there was quite a lot of litter to be picked, as you will see by the number of bags we had at the end!

Shortly after joining the canal, Amy noticed a goose which was also there the last time we were on the canal - hence today's pun! It seemed to be following us all along the canal so we decided to try to name it. My favourite suggestions were Lucy the Goosey and GooseGym!

There was also a bit of friendly competition between Amy and I, over who could dispose of the highest number of discarded masks. I was winning 4-3 until right at the end when Amy spotted another one to make it 4-4!

Overall, we did a great job and the canal looks a lot better for it! Well done team!
