... well, the screw wasn't so much loose as completely absent! After unpacking the new planter at Hilsea Station, assembly became more difficult as the fixtures and fittings were missing. DIY Dave was able to work out what was missing so Jane from Community Spotlight has a shopping list to officially complete the task.

Whilst Jane nipped home to bring some compost, to help keep the planter in place, we tried growing our own Dave and Betsy plants. Unfortunately, there was not a lotnof success. We then got our GoodGym on, carrying big sacks of compost and top soil and loading the planters.

Sinéad, Sam and John cleared some of the litter from the platforms whilst sharing ideas and contacts to help with the station greening project.

The rain couldn't quite stay away, and our run back to the Lido was more than a bit soggy, however a few more kms were logged for the January Challenge.

Well done to everyone for getting out there on a drizzly Monday.

I think Jane won the early bird award, out before dawn.

Richard wins the best photo (dog pics are always a favourite with me!)

Val & Judy opted to be social and walked together with a coffee stop, cheers to that idea ☕

Harry proved what Motivation Monday is all about by squeezing a walk in right at the end of the day.

Great work everyone! Same again next week.

I was trying to think up a good title but they all went a bit dark...

Today the prime finds were a trainer (slightly chewed), some very full nappies and a neat pile of desperados bottles and cardboard sleeve.

The bin bag got emptied half way round as it was heavy and the graveyard looked much clearer after we finished.

Fresh air and a good deed is a great way to spend a Monday lunchtime. ⭐

We send apologies for our lack of GG branding, the weather did not allow for t-shirts to be on show!
