Marty Mouse and the giant slugs
10 GoodGymers made their way 5.5km to help the Chelmsford Council in Chelmsford.

After a very intense afternoon of rain, Doug and Andy arrived in sunny bright yellow tops, Erin arrived in a long awaited GoodGym t-shirt, and everyone was still keen to go ahead with the run.
Sallyann was raring to go, even collecting some official looking tape from the bushes outside the gym, so we let Sallyann and Fay head off with their walk ahead of us.
The rest of the group ran a slightly longer route along the bunny walks, catching up on our trip to see Barbie at the weekend (mixed reviews - I loved it). We started collecting further down the bunny walks, not finding too much litter until we got close to the local retail park with exciting finds such as polystyrene and cans.
Martin learned a new skill of small rodent spotting in the undergrowth, whilst a few of us were alarmed to see lots of rain-bloated slugs, and Andy invited himself round to Joe's for a dinner of toad in the hole.
David and Doug separated from the rest of us for a long heart to heart, and we never found Fay and Sallyann (learning afterwards that they had finished before us).
Joel led us back on a slightly longer route back to make the run up to 5k,and we all headed home!
We've got the monthly Ale House Pub Quiz at the weekend - sign up here if you want to join.
See you all soon,
Laurie
