Upon reaching Mutton Brook, we rolled up our sleeves (figuratively, of course) and dove into the litter-picking action along the North Circular Road making our contribution to keeping the area clean. Among the bushes, we encountered Yessica, a fellow volunteer, and speculated about the whereabouts of Daniel Mermelstein, who seemed to be on a solo rubbish-collecting mission somewhere in the wilderness!

Our efforts didn't go unnoticed, as passersby showered us with gratitude for our community-minded endeavors. After a job well done, we bid farewell and dispersed, each making our own way back, feeling accomplished and grateful for the opportunity to combine fitness with making a positive impact on our local environment.

Thanks to everyone who braved the rain, ran with us, and joined in the litter-picking fun. Until next time, keep running and doing good! 🏃‍♂️🌧️🌳
