This night we ran out to what's becoming a familiar spot for one last job: clearing up fallen and broken branches in a giant hedge of beech trees.

With a lot of shuttling dead branches back to the pile for collection and quite a bit of sawing up large ones, we made quick work of it and did a quick litter pick among the leaves while we were there too!

A super turnout of seven GoodGymers met the other Friends of People's Park for a very thorough litter pick and clearing some self-set saplings to improve visibility on the paths and maintain a diverse grassland area.

11 big bags of litter and a pile of twiggy trees were collected in the drizzly rain before heading off for warming coffees and hot showers!

A superb turnout for the first Parkrun takeover of the year on what proved to be a wet, windy and generally cold morning. From set up to the finish funnel and points between, friendly GoodGymers were everywhere. The wise ones wrapped up warm, the foolhardy ones ran. Good to get out there at the start of 2023.
