Our second week of litter picking, and it has to be said that Cardiff is looking good..... And not just because of goodgym.

Da iawn

Tonight four of us met to hit the City Centre and a popular cycle / walk route. We started with a nice catch up outside our meet point, and some great stories from the weekend. Then headed out for a walk along the route surveying the area, then time to turn around....

And the litter pick began, an unknown competition was being held and judged by our designated bag holder..... We found the usual litter along the way (most in a car park), as well as bags of biscuits

Let's get ready to crumble

Was there a winner, of course, it's Cardiff. Always a winner when goodgym get out to do some good.

Due to injury our Activator was unable to run tonight, so we moved our meet up back to Sport Wales for a litter pick.

It really is a perfect start for a tidy up, there's a taxi drop off point, a coach stop and then all of the sport in the park. And with a little more walking, you get to a busy pathway.

There was plenty to pick, from getting in a bush or two to some fallen bollards (these did not fit in a bag so had to stay where they were).

After a good hour and a bit, we all returned to our meeting point for a photo and to put away our three heaving bags of rubbish.

Welcome to their first task Huw, and back to their second task Alex. Also a SHOUT OUT for bringing them along.

Tonight we help out on the Great British Spring Clean 2024. Back for its ninth year, the Great British Spring Clean is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign.

Pledging to take part couldn’t be easier, simply pledge as an individual, a group or a school and let them know how many bags you pledge to pick up. 

Last year, the army of amazing #LitterHeroes pledged to pick more than 400,000 bags of litter.

Can they count on you to help clean up the places and spaces we love this spring, as Keep Britain Tidy celebrates its landmark 70th year of protecting the environment?

We had already taken part in a virtual litter pick on Sunday, where everyone that signs up joins in and does a quick litter pick of their local area.

Tonight we were in our usual group, a nice planned run each way of 2.5km and the break in the middle to litter pick one of our parks. A little wetter than usual but good light raining for running, we managed a good couple of full sized bin bags.

We love taking part in this each year.

Join us again for our next task, always Tuesdays. Go on.... Give us a try

A change of location tonight as the sky poured with wetness. We put in a nice paced run, a litterpick by as much cover as we could find outside, and then a run back.

A wobbly litter pick in the late night, a quick go at the underpass and a bag was soon found.
