Monday's group run was minimal running but maximum satisfaction of leaving our start point looking free of litter!

The plan was to head over to the Waterlink Way to tackle the litter as its always a hot spot for beer cans and other debris. A change of plan occurred when I arrived at Glass Mill and I saw the litter flying around outside!

We split into 2 groups to tackle one side of Glass Mill each and after an hout of litter hunting, we ended with 7 full bags of litter!!

We usually end up finding some surprising items on our litter picks but our most surprising item this week was half a coconut!

Thanks to Glass Mill for disposing of all the litter for us - they were very grateful for our help keeping the area tidy. It's a hot spot for litter so maybe we'll tackle it every once in a while.

Next week, we are heading over to Senior's for an indoor task. As it's a longer (and hilly) run, we're going to aim to set off at 18.45 on the dot.
