There is a true "tomb" romance between Goodgym Ealing St Mary's church : we were back for more weeding and clearing the tombs around the church. Todays group run became a group walk as only 1 runner and it was quite close so plenty of time to get the the church. Jo cycled to the church and Harvey ran to meet the walking "dead" at the church - dont believe everything I say as the walkers were really alive.

Welcome to Neal and Max for their 1st session. We carried on from our last session here by weeding and doing a great tidy up left and right of where we left it last time as we were 8 - so 2 groups of 4. This avoided us walking on each others "bones". Divide to better conquer the bramble territory. We also removed a lot of broken glass between the tombs but also near the path near the church.

The tomb raiders did a great job today. Well done team.

Picking Up Good Habits

GoodGym members headed out across the country for some anytime litter picking.

Jacqui and Sally cleaned up around central London before rewarding themselves with a couple of free exhibitions at Somerset House. Paul tackled the River Quaggy in Sutcliffe Park, collecting four bags filled mainly with cans and fast-food packaging.

Meanwhile, Gus and I explored a lovely disused railway line, searching high and low for rubbish hidden behind walls and deep in the bushes. Why people go to such trouble to hide their litter never ceases to amaze me—fortunately, Gus proved a very willing assistant! Thanks to Peter for also providing photos.

Another month and several Goodgymers stuck to their "litter pickers" to remove trash off the streets of their borough. Usual trash with loads of bottles probably due to the hot weather.

Keep the good work up team.
