Despite all indications being that tonight's community mission would be a washout, ten hardy GoodGymers turned up to do good in their community. As part of a week long concerted effort to support the Cardiff Council 'Love Where You Live' campaign, we met to litter pick in Roath and Penylan.

We were delighted to welcome not one but three new people to GoodGym - well done Cara, Kirsty and Evie - it was great that you could join us and we hope to see you at another run soon!

After an introduction to GoodGym by Ellen, we grouped into two's and three's with a mission to tidy the streets of Roath and Penylan. We came across all kinds of garbage but a significant amount of takeaway debris - burgers, discarded baguettes and empty pizza boxes. After a mere 45 minutes and a fair few steps, we gathered back at Penylan library with ten bags of rubbish! As an added bonus, the weather gods had been kind and the rain had stopped for the entirety of our mission!

After discussing forthcoming runs to the YMCA and an opportunity to continue our great litter pick on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, it was time to depart. Well done team!
