The grand finale of Discover Welling's Tour of Welling saw us hitting the high street for a litter hunt.

Our Fab Four met up with the Discover Welling team, staff from McDonald's and two local residents, then headed off in different directions to tackle hotspot areas where rubbish had collected.

In a moment of chance Khai was passing on the bus and spotted our GG red tops, so he hopped off and joined us for a bonus task credit. That's the power of GoodGym, and we unexpectedly the Fab Five!

You never know what you'll find on a litter pick, but a lonely baby's dummy 👶 provided useful inspiration for this report's title!

After an hour we piled up the filled bin bags and posed for the traditional group photo, just before the rain started. Perfect timing for us all to head home - with Khai getting back on the bus - after a job well done.

So that's a wrap for out part in the year's Great British Spring Clean. Same next year? Count us in!

This lunchtime we were back on the Tour of Welling with Discover Welling for the penultimate stop in their Great British Spring Clean adventure.

Julie kicked things off with a full workout, hauling the fully-loaded Tour trolley uphill from her home to meet us at Falconwood Parade. We’re talking grabbers, bags and hoops - basically a mobile clean-up command centre. Who needs a gym when you’ve got that?

For the rest of us the exercise was less intense as we took a deep dive into the world of playground litter. Bottles, cans, sweet wrappers and even a flip-flop had clearly been playing hide and seek in the bushes, but we wrestled them out.

With blue skies overhead and warm sunshine, it felt less like a task and more like a rewarding dose of the outdoors.

It was lovely to have Sandy with us, a local resident who read about the Tour on social media and decided to help out. Proof that community spirit, good vibes (and litter pickers) are contagious.

We didn’t conquer all the rubbish so a return visit (or two… or three 👀) might be on the cards. But for now, the areas we tackled are looking tidier and a little bit more loved.

Fancy swapping your usual routine for something like this? Come join us! We promise that trolley pulling is optional!

We supported Discover Welling on their Great British Spring Clean 'Tour of Welling' with a stop at Welling Station. A local councillor came along too.

Station staff were on hand to help and provided daffodils and crocus for us to plant. A lovely splash of colour alongside the path to and from the platform.

We also painted a wall in preparation for a new mural to be installed. Brown pebble-dashed concrete is now clean white.

A sunny task to brighten up the route used by so many local residents 😎.
