We had a good team out to support with Parkrun and although it was sunny there was a definite chill in the air. Dani had the auspicious role of funnel manager and di her best to keep Gill and Duncan in check as they tried not to mess up the timekeeping (which Gill failed to do). Sam and Prashant had already set up the course and were ready to take down at the end of the run while Lee had been a motivational marshal - cheering every runner on as they passed his post and making sure all were safe. Great way to start the weekend, team!

Our planned visit to the Lea Vale Community garden was cancelled last minute so that meant quickly packing our handy folding pickers in a backpack and heading out in search of litter.

The original task involved a run up to Farley Hill so we kept that theme and ran up to Winsdon Hill, picked our way back down again and collected about 8 bags of rubbish between us. We also reported a few bulky fly tips to the council too so they can be collected later on.

A lovely warm and sunny evening was perfect to enjoy the wild flowers on the Winsdon hill meadows and the blossom on the hawthorns and the cherry tree plus the view over Luton from the top of the hill.

5 Goodgymers joined the Friends of Peoples Park team on their monthly litter pick.

No big ticket items to report...the regular litter picks are keeping the park in good shape and hopefully are encouraging users to be more mindful about their litter 🤞

Around 13 bags collected to keep the momentum going followed by an unplanned upper body workout as we lobbed our bags into the cage on the council truck!!!
