I left the house in the drizzle (I was a bit late as I managed to sleep 10 hours straight, it has been a busy week). I had in had my own personal litter picker - £13 from Amazon - litter picking just got serious.

Jess and Tim came out with me too as Jess was going to cycle for 9 laps around the park on her bike. This was to take part in the 'Act Your Age Challnege' for her Brownie unit and Children in Need. Somehow the 9 little laps totalled to 4 miles, I didn't think I would be doing quite that much this morning. I litter picked on the way to our start point, ran alongside Jess and litter picked around the park and on the way back home.

Here's a list of the finds -

Soda Can ( I do think Beer cans need to go on this list) Candy Wrapper
Bottle Cap/Lid Paper Straw fast food wrapper toy piece of plastic foil of foil piece of plastic

also -

Bike bungee thing with hooks Juice cartons Dog bags (the poopless ones of course)

My favourite of all of these was a character from (Paw Patrol I think) - I left him on the school gates in hope of a reunion.

It felt good to have the Goodgym top on again and to mix exercise with doing good.
