It was such a lovely evening for a litter pick! Having ran 3k to the task armed with pickers and bags Richard and I met up with Gabriel who we discovered had walked from the Jewellery Quarter! About a 10km walk, our run felt silly and short haha but we all had exercised a lot already. So we took it easy on the plog, trying a new spot in Stirchley park.

We even found this jigsaw (HENCE THE PUN) - and couldn't decide on the legitimacy of the artwork. Was it AI? We consulted our group whatsapp who were equally undecided as the artist only seems to have this one piece and in addition has a name very close to Frank Zappa. The mystery of ages!

We had some great chats and then both did the return legs home!

Ok that's an awful pun. Prizes for a better one 😅

We had a lovely group of 5 tonight taking on the Rea Valley path on a 4km plog. It was great being joined by Sophie & Narendra as it had been a while since we caught up! After the litter pick, where we filled a big bag of rubbish, the fab five headed to the British Oak where Laura asked them to put the (Cricket) World Cup on! It turned out Narendra had been to see India v Pakistan and I'm hopefully going tomorrow to see Pakistan take on South Africa. Great chats and a good time spent with one another 🏏👏❤️

Tonight a team of 5 took on a very relaxing 4km run up the River Rea Valley Path picking up litter. We managed one full bag and the path looking lovely.

Big kudos to Rich, James and Laura, fresh from their successes in the Birmingham 10K and Half Marathon!

Before the GoodGym Christmas social, 5 eager GGers headed to the Good Intent to pick up litter pickers and complete a 20 minute litter pick in the city centre. 2 bags full was good work and a well deserved social afterwards.

We completed a 7km run along with a 30 minute litter pick round the station. We managed to fill an entire bag.

Tonight Miriam and Richard embarked on a sunny evening plog along the River Rea (hence the pun!/pronunciation guide to non Brummies on the river name)

Once we reached Cannon Hill Park we were assisted by the loveliest kids who helped us and enjoyed using the litter pickers. 7K ran and a bag of rubbish collected and an ice cream pot seized from a squirrel.
