Area Activator Simon will be leading a "plogging" walk session along Regent's Canal, Islington. Plogging is a mix of the Swedish words for "pick-up" and "jogging".
Our plan is to walk the towpath together (eastbound), while picking up litter on route.
We recommend bringing gloves and a head torch, but Area Activator Simon will still have some on hand, just in case.
Recycling and rubbish bags will be provided, along with a few litter pickers and a dustpan and brush.
We will also have bags of bird seed on offer!
The waterfowl on Regent's Canal have a hard time in Winter, especially with the icy waters reducing access to usual food sources. We will spread seed and food to help them out!
Our finishing location will be at Dalston Junction overground station
Walk distance - 1.5 - 2 miles

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.
New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.
Options are available to run between 2km and 3km in total
Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.
This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
