... 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!

Vanessa and I watered two beautiful rain gardens which were feeling rather parched. As well as looking lovely, they provide vital habitat for insects and help things help prevent drains from being overwhelmed. when the rain eventually returns.

Despite sticking to just the front of the park, we managed to fill a whole bag in half an hour - in large part, thanks to the enthusiastic supervision of Indie, the beautiful labrador!

We were very surprised to see a bush draped in a huge white web, which was probably the work of gorgeous ermine moth caterpillars.

We were very pleased to be back here!

Our first task was to rescue a bench that had been gnawed by an over-enthusiastic resident; after a bit of sanding and a lick of paint it was looking almost as good as new!

We also fought the very thorny brambles and weeds on the main pathway. This involved multiple wheelbarrow trips to the composting area where we discovered large sand dunes.

After parkrun, we gave Great Salterns a bit of a clean up.

We welcomed Goodgym tourist Jacqui from Barnet and Rebecca's friend also called Rebecca from Southampton.

Among the usual finds, we found a particularly memorable find: part of a man's pants... always keeping things classy on a Goodgym task! On a more tasteful note, we also found a frisbee still in good shape, so we hung it on a low branch as a lucky gift for a passing dog!

What a pleasure it was to be part of parkrun's 1,000,000th Event weekend of celebrations!

Rebecca joined the volunteering team as a Marshal, whilst Jane took on Barcode Scanning for the runners at the end.

Jen and Dave managed to run and volunteer this week- Dave had to put his foot down to takeover Finish Tokens from the Run Director, whilst Jen added some shuttle runs to her cool-down whilst Token Sorting.

We also got to meet Jacqui from GoodGym Barnet, who joined us for two tasks after her parkrun tourism, and local MP Amanda Martin, who spoke so highly of GoodGym, which was wonderful to hear! Also - I wish I could look as glam a Amanda after a 5km!

Nice job, everyone!
