On the first day of autumn, three GoodGymers headed from Stepney Bank Stables towards the Quayside. We covered a slightly different area than usual, some of the streets and areas away from the river.
Welcome to Libby, making her GoodGym debut, and welcome back to Jack, joining us for the first time in a little while. An ankle injury and a two-hour run yesterday meant we focused more on the doing good than getting fit this evening.
Libby spotted an enormous quantity of L'Oréal and Garnier sachets hidden behind a bush next to a car park. Her estimate of 2,000 probably wasn't far wrong. Everyone was extremely dedicated this evening, so we picked them all up and deposited them in a nearby bin. Twelve bags of litter were filled in all, definitely making a difference to how the area looks.
