Our planned visit to the Lea Vale Community garden was cancelled last minute so that meant quickly packing our handy folding pickers in a backpack and heading out in search of litter.

The original task involved a run up to Farley Hill so we kept that theme and ran up to Winsdon Hill, picked our way back down again and collected about 8 bags of rubbish between us. We also reported a few bulky fly tips to the council too so they can be collected later on.

A lovely warm and sunny evening was perfect to enjoy the wild flowers on the Winsdon hill meadows and the blossom on the hawthorns and the cherry tree plus the view over Luton from the top of the hill.

It was our first visit to Holy Trinity church in 2026 and our first group run of the year in daylight!

We ran out to meet William and Violet for a spring clean of the church interior, vacuuming the floor, mopping the tiles in the aisle and polishing the pews.

It was the first time for two people. We showed Hussein and Ebrahim the ropes of a GoodGym session and they put in a good effort with both the running and the cleaning!

7 Goodgymers came to support the Friends of Leagrave Park with their monthly litterpick. 2 Trolley's a tent and 14 bags of litter from the team collected in just over am hour and a half. Great work team 👏 👍🏻 💪
