We had a wonderful time joining our amazing friends at Roundhouse Birmingham to litter pick by Kayak! Still allowing us to get our fitness in as we Kayaked 3km round the Birmingham canals, while completing our task. If running and litter picking is "plogging", what would this be? Playaking?

It was fabulous to have first timers with us, who got stuck in and we really hope to see you again! Lovely to meet you Louise, Kasia and Richard! It was so good seeing Liam, Annie and Laura our GG Brum OGs at the task too!

After an expert safety briefing from Andrew at Roundhouse we were lead by Kayak leader Helen round the Icknield Port Loop where we found cans, a pool noodle and several footballs (hence the pun, which isn't my best I'll admit).

Thanks Amy for organising this and taking pics, as well as Eve who also took some great photos.

We all had a lovely time and collected loads of litter in the sunshine.

On a Thursday evening 13 goodgymers and 2 tour guides from the Birmingham Roundhouse took to the canals for a unique litter picking expedition!

Keith and Andrew from the roundhouse briefed us all and we got our buoyancy aids on! Equipped with rubber gloves, nets and big rubber buckets we floated off . We kayaked up towards Port Loop and looped round past the reservoir, filling up the buckets with litter. We also got a brief history of the surrounding area and learnt something new about Birmingham.

After kayaking back past the hidden goose in the bush, we collected our haul and had a group photo under the historic arches!

It was certainly a fun goodgym adventure! Big thanks to the roundhouse for taking us out on an amazing trip!
