4 GoodGymers & apprentice Betsy strode around the streets of Copnor to deliver leaflets advertising The Shining Stars events.

We managed to avoid the barking dogs and the snapping letterboxes.

And we found the home growing the most interesting front-garden vegetables.

Kingston Rec is always a treasure trove for litter picking, so what better place for Round 2 of Litter Pick Bingo!

Rob joined us for his first official GoodGym task, after his usual Bad-Minton session had been sadly cancelled. In probably one of the wildest coincidence in litter pick history, we found one of the pin badges that Rob gives out at the training he delivers half-buried in dirt under a bench!

Katie was the first to claim "Bingo!" on her card, but was usurped when Jim came in close behind, but with an actual item of clothing, rather than a rubber glove!

Sinéad was first to fill her bag, and probably had the weirdest find with a full outfit and a wig, found in a bush. Katie did get the final prize for heaviest bag, thanks to a shopping basket and a metal post!

Dave had a "Dirty Dancing" moment, where he carried a watermelon, and Rob found a lone "Chess" piece, carrying on the musical theme.

Well done, everyone!

Vanessa and I gave this small patch a thorough clean-up.

It may look a bit neglected but this small area is home to many insects. We saw beautiful butterflies, hoverflies, beetles a wasp and many leaping grasshoppers (possibly Common Field Grasshoppers)!

Can you spot him in the photo?

After meeting at FCC and the introduction of the Litter Pick Bingo cards, we split into two teams to head to Kingston Rec. Sammy, Jim and mini-GGer Betsy made up our running group, whilst the rest of the squad walked a slightly sneaky back route.

Just as we were starting our picking challenge, seven-year old Harry and his dad came over and were very excited to join in. Along with their two dogs, they came in a very commendable joint second place with Sammy. Jim found an impressive stash of onions for everyone to secure their "vegetable" - it would have been disappointing to do a pick at Kingston Rec and not find one. After a miraculous find of a chilli pepper in a bush, Betsy and Wilson were the first to call BINGO! The competition was fierce throughout, and there was much debate as to whether something counted as a "suspicious liquid", or if something was large enough to reach "Big Ticket Item" status. Honourable mentions to everyone who took part, as even the lowest score was an impressive 6/8.

... OK, "Global Group Run" was a bit of a stretch, but with 300 miles between our farthest-flung litter picks, it feels pretty massive!

Our northern-most pick was in the Lake District with Sarah and Wilson. It looked like a very scenic walk, apart from the fake toenail, smelly sock and pair of underpants they found!

Down in Sherwood Forest, Dave started his day with a run and a litter pick, whilst Jen's was more gentle, with a post-dinner stroll.

Katie L misled a beach full of children whilst photographing litter in a rock pool down in Devon.

Hannah smashed out two litter picks in Southampton, whilst our remaining GoodGymers kept the streets of Portsmouth, Southsea and Emsworth clean.

Fantastic job everyone, great work keeping the spirit of GoodGym alive whilst I'm on holiday!

Katie and I found lots of pieces of insulating foam washed up on Tipner beach. We collected it all, along with lots of plastic and rope.

Less than an hour, and we left the beach much cleaner than we'd found it.

Paul filled a bag up from the cycle lane that runs from the Mountbatten Centre to Target Rd so all of Tipner got a spruce up this morning.
