Tonight we welcomed in a new GoodGymer on our run to help out the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust clear up some of the Grey to Green area. Give her a cheer here Amelia.

We met Simon and Gerry who had a plethora of litterpicking apparatus ready for us to hit the streets around the Castlegate area. We all hooped, bagged, and pickered up and set out to clean up the sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) which seem to collect litter as effectively as well as rainwater. There wasn't a great amount in the beds this time because the council had obviously recently been doing some green-fingered shenanigans there. We did manage to find a lot of smaller items that had been passed over by others... bottle tops, cigarette butts etc.

After a solid hour of clearing up, we deposited the 'full' bags near a bin to be reported and collected. We then gathered to pose with our trashy accomplishments for a couple of pictures, before saying our goodbye's to the Walk Wheel Cycle people.

It was now time for a bit of exercise fun, in the form of competitive wall sits and box jumps. Everyone leapt at the chance to participate! After this we headed back to the Showroom to stretch off and debrief.
