After a quick warm up of practicing picking up the trees and then throwing them onto the giant piles, it was time to set off to find some abandoned Christmas trees.

My group branched out a little too far and ended up separated after the first road. After searching high and low for abandoned trees it was soon time to head to out meeting point to be reunited.

Only 5 days later than last year and oh so many less trees!! We still relocated 12 Christmas trees to recycling piles at Hilly Fields. These Christmas trees will be used to make woodchip for our local parks.

It was also an evening on celebrations, it's 9 years that we've been doing good in the borough!! Happy 9th Birthday!

Three GoodGymer-s met at Mountsfield Park in the freezing temperatures and not 100% if Parkrun would be going ahead but with two aims:

1. Fill in some spots on the volunteer roster: tailwalking to course check to litter picking to course set up!
2. Spread the word about GG by running in our GG tops (2 out of 3, I wasn't brave enough to take off layers whilst tailwalking).

With our aims achieved and 218 brave Parkrunners avoiding the ice, it was a successful morning!
