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!
