We didn't bottle it, we bagged it!

3 Goodgymers returned to Sydenham Drive in Leamington Spa to complete a litter pick.

We started the evening with a jog along the canal, taking in some of the beautiful murals along the route and catching up on each other's weeks including weekend runs, triathlons and the trials and tribulations of work.

Once we got to Sydenham Drive we started our pick and were surprised by how much litter there was. With the weather having been warmer over recent weeks there was evidence of some evening drinking under the trees along the edge of the Drive. Some more unusual finds included a sanding pad for an orbital sander and the old classic of a shopping trolley from nearby Asda.

We inadvertently ended up being a bit of a tourist attraction as a family who introduced themselves as visiting from India were curious to find out what we were doing and then asked to take photos of our group!

With our bags heavy with rubbish we returned to the start, dropped our bags ready for collection by Leam Trash Friends tomorrow and enjoyed a run back along the canal to the pump rooms.

Kudos to James who ran an additional 6km on top of our group run by running to and from the session from home - hope you made it back up the hill James :-)
