Report written by Joel Wiles
14 Westminster GoodGymers navigated their way 7k to the the London waterways to pick, clip and bag with the Canals and River Trust!
Withba longer run than normal we headed out on our adventure to wiggle our way up to North North Westminster (Camden) trying to find to quietest route possible along the way. 3.5k of strong running in the very warm London Town took us up to St Pancreas Lock to meet Canal and River Trust superstar Jack!!
Making the best possible impression on any Goodgym group Jack had Water and melon ready for us to top us up for the task ahead!
Splitting into 2 units we went left and right armed with litter pickers long and short, bags with fancy easy access attachment, sheares and loppers!
Making a kilometre each way of canal path magnificently rubbish free and all the vegetation cut back to allow the full width of the very busy path to be used!
35 minutes of action 10 bags filled, few bits fished out of the river and a perfect fade cut into the path side greenery!!
A speedy return leg back to base rounded off a fun, fitness filled evening!!
Am off on my holidays for the next 2 weeks, superstar trainer Damien will be looking after you next week as you help Open Age get into hard to access communities in Westminster to get the over 60’s more active in social groups to combat isolation in Westminster.
See you on the 15th
Smooth Running
