On a chilly (but dry) Wednesday evening, 4 GoodGym Leeds members: Katie, Gemma, Suzie and Bethany met in West Park ready to plog (litter pick _ run/jog).

Armed with newly purchased litter pickers and a stash of purple bags, the GoodGym gang made their way up and down the streets, picking up pieces of litter as they went. The group stayed together for the session so that they could chat and catch up on the weeks events as they collected litter on the street. Weirdest items included a shoe and a pile of fluff that seemed never ending.

P.s. sorry for the sligthly blurry photo - cold hands didn't make it easy to get a good shot!

GoodGym Leeds will be plogging again next Wednesday and on the 22nd, they will be heading over to Woodhouse Moor for a parkrun and a catch up at Coffee on the Crescent. It would be great to see you there!

On this lovely sunny autumnal Sunday, a team of 9 Goodgymmers joined forces with Litter Free Pudsey and The Waste Team, to clean up a wooded area of Swinnow.

After a quick briefing from LFP, we loaded up with litter picks and bin bags, and quickly set about filling them up.

With Tom and Adam deep in the brambles, pulling out car parts and mattreses, a bloodcurdling scream came from Jenny after finding a creepy looking jaw bone. Dracula Rob found this particularly hilarious! And it kept in line with the Halloween theme, with some fancy dress action going on.

After an hour and a half of wombling away, the area was all done; managing to fill one of The Waste Team's vans with all the rubbish!

A job well done, and hopefully the first of many with Litter Free Pudsey.
