Another solo group run unfortunately due to a late cancellation, I went on a little scout around Ravenscourt Park to clear up any mess.

Got a few bottles and other bits and bobs so hopefully less plastic finds its way into the ecosystem!

A solo mission, I had a nice walk around the borough moving bits of rubbish off the ground and into the bin where they belong.

Due to some confusion (on my part, lesson learnt don't try and go to the office first before a GG session!) Biscuits and Cookie met up to do some litter picking around the Crabtree pub and the main road.

Three bags full (including two jerry cans full of unknown substance) was enough for us on quite the bitter January night.

Sad there was much litter on the green and near the playground, but glad it was gathered and safely disposed of :)

Goodbye twenty twenty tree… 2024 is officially here, as is the GoodGym January challenge! What better way to start the year than with a good deed? The two Johnny’s and Lucy agreed, and were pining to go good and get fit!

A classic Hammersmith and Fulham task, the aim was to scour the local streets for discarded Christmas trees and bring them back to Loris Gardens, where there is a tree recycling collection point. Trees left in the roads and on streets can cause problems for cars and pedestrians, especially with storm Henk blowing around!

Although it was quite early on in the twelve days of Christmas for trees to come down, we found enough trees on the roads around Brook Green to keep us busy.

There were a few different techniques utilised for tree moving… - The ‘husky’, in which the GoodGymmer pulls the tree along by its tip akin to a dog pulling a sleigh. - The ‘macho man’, demonstrated by a GoodGymmer showing off their brute strength by carrying a large tree balanced across their shoulders, often with a squat or two thrown in for good measure. - The ‘panto horse’, where two GoodGymmers take on one tree at the front and back and shuffle along akin to the pantomime classic.

A tree-mendous effort later, there were no more firs on the streets, and we galavanted off into the wind, with the first tally on the January Challenge notched off.

Another cold night, another litter pick. However this one was slightly more effective as we filled 6 whole bags with detritus from the Thames and general thrown away rubbish.

Shout out to both Analiese and Rohan for coming along and helping, was really good to have a nitter as we picked up the litter!
