Burning the Wicker at both arches, It's a Litter Sweet Symphony

Monday 14th February 2022

Written by Tom Mutton

Thanks to James for tonights puntastic title, you really are a true pun master James!

This week we were back to meet with Karen and Malcolm to help them with the constant battle against litter in the area. We met at the Wicker arches and walked up to meet Malcolm who was waiting on Spital Hill with pickers, hoops and grabbers in hand.

We got straight to work picking away and there was plenty to go at. Some choice items were found including:

  • Car parts
  • A single shoe
  • Underpants

All that litter(s) is was indeed not gold (thanks again James).

After a good session with plenty of bags collected we headed back via the spider bridge to channel our inner spiders by getting low and squat wadlling our our way across this very atmospheric feature. After this we took in the lumps and bumps outside Ponds Forge International swimming pool and finished with stretching and soup!

What a way to spend your valentines day eh, lovely! We also had a birthday tonight, so we all wished LOVELY LINDA a happy birthday, hope you had a lovely day Linda!

Until next time, happy running :)
