This weeks group run saw the latest effort to Keep Britain Tidy by doing our bit to Keep Luton Tidy for the Great British Spring Clean.
Most importantly it was Gail's 50th task! Gail has been on the team since before GoodGym Luton started so we're fairly sure she's done more than 50! Definitely well deserving of a shiny new black shirt!
We took the long road up to Farley Hill, rising up out of town to be treated with a panoramic view of the twinkling lights. Arriving at the Farley Hill Community Centre we met Martin with The litter pickers and set work collecting litter from around the community centre, the shops and the playground here. Four bags later we set off again on the return journey back down the hill into town.

This week there was a last minute change of plans as our task owner wasn't available so it was time for a plogging circuit with this week's Three Amigos: Martin, Duncan and David.
We picked the litter we found as we worked our way along the streets in the Dallow direction, popping handfuls of rubbish in the bins we found along the way. occasionally stopping to deal with particularly bad spots. When we got to Dallow Downs we went through the woods and up the hill to Winsdon Hill. No bins on this section but tons of trash so it didn't look like we could help much. But then what's that? Among the trees someone had helpfully dumped a wheelie bin, just what we needed to get the waste out of the woods.
Working our way up the hill with the wheelie bin getting heavier as we went we arrived at the top with a full load. Back on tarmac we carried on through Farley Hill, across to Stockwood Park and then back downhill into town to complete a litter-free loop.

The Three D's of Dani, Derick and David went on a good long run out to Runfold Avenue to do the last bit of scrub clearing for a while, we'll be leaving birds to do their nesting now.
At a spot by the river a group of blackthorn bushes and a big old elder tree had formed a secluded den that attracts antisocial behaviour, so met Sam and the van from the council and we set to work cutting back the trees to open the space up.
Even just the four of us we managed to fill the van within an hour and send Sam off with a full load heading for composting. That just left us the nice return run along the river and back into town

This week was a short distance run round the corner to help with final cleaning and vacuuming of the Guru Ravidass Gurdwara before the festivities start on Friday.
We mopped floors polished tables and surfaces and even gave the faux flowers a shower. The carpet got vacuumed as well as we remembered the night a year ago that we were here lifting the giant heavy rolls of carpet up the stairs!
With all that done we had plenty of time to do some strenuous bodyweight exercises to make up for not having a long run.
