Welcome to their first task Huw, and back to their second task Alex.
Also a SHOUT OUT for bringing them along.
Tonight we help out on the Great British Spring Clean 2024. Back for its ninth year, the Great British Spring Clean is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign.
Pledging to take part couldn’t be easier, simply pledge as an individual, a group or a school and let them know how many bags you pledge to pick up.
Last year, the army of amazing #LitterHeroes pledged to pick more than 400,000 bags of litter.
Can they count on you to help clean up the places and spaces we love this spring, as Keep Britain Tidy celebrates its landmark 70th year of protecting the environment?
We had already taken part in a virtual litter pick on Sunday, where everyone that signs up joins in and does a quick litter pick of their local area.
Tonight we were in our usual group, a nice planned run each way of 2.5km and the break in the middle to litter pick one of our parks. A little wetter than usual but good light raining for running, we managed a good couple of full sized bin bags.
We love taking part in this each year.
Join us again for our next task, always Tuesdays. Go on.... Give us a try

A great start to a Saturday with our goodgym mission today, as we offered to help the wonderfully new Cardiff Community Orchard.
Cardiff Council have granted permission for new community orchard planting in Bute Park. The project is being developed and led by a community group with support from the Friends of Bute Park. The project follows a community-led campaign set up in the wake of the vandalism which occurred in September 2021, which caused thousands of pounds worth of damage. Something which goodgym Cardiff did of course support.
Edible cardiff supplied the plug plants. EdibleCardiff is all about supporting individuals and groups of local people to come together to grow their own food, flowers and produce
It was a great morning of raking the grass, scarifying parts to remove dead grass and then opening up the soil in other places ready to sow the wonderful seed mixes. Some other volunteers were busy in different areas of the orchard on their hands and knees plantnig the plugs for a quick hit of plant delight.
Hopefully we will be back here a few more times this year, keep an eye out for the tasks and the Orchards socials - facebook & Instgram
