With the rain pouring down, it didn't look like the most appealing weather for litter picking, but a little water would not deter determined goodgymers.

Arriving to the green field of Anderson's meadow, Goodgymers Alina, Jonathan, Rob and Ralph were greeted by the Norwich green party members aplenty who were organising the litter pick. There was a choice of going by water via canoe or walking along the river edge with litter pickers although the canoes were all taken so only one option remained.

On slippery and wet ground much litter was collected with the highlight being a rusty 70's Raleigh childs bike. This was almost topped by a large shopping trolley, however this was unable to be moved as it very much stuck on the river bed, presumed to be tanlged in reeds, despite efforts attempting to pull it out, even using Alina's belt! Undettered, Alina and Jonathan attempted to go out via canoe to retrive the trolley however were later persuaded not to after previous failed attempts by others on canoe made them realise it would be almsot impossible.

After an hours litter picking was completed, litter bags were taken to the nearby bin area and the mission was complete.
