Litter picking and sock finding is good for our sole
5 GoodGymers made their way 2km to help the Wymering Manor in Portsmouth.

We were due to head to Wymering Manor but due to covid this was postponed, so once again we had to implement a backup plan and bring our litter pickers. We all met at Hilsea Lido and had a walk around the foreshore and moat to stretch our legs. We headed over the small bridge and started clearing the rubbish from the grass and borders near the cycle track. Wilson and Katie got off to a great start and found a cap, pair of shorts and 2 socks. Val closely followed by picking up another pair of socks and we were soon wondering whether we will collect enough clothing to dress a person. Judy headed onto the empty cycle track and picked up discarded cans and bottles from there. We tried to retrieve some rubbish from the water but as the tide was in it wasn’t that easy and we also needed to be careful that we didn’t slip on the grass and end up in the water. We looped back round and filled our bags with what we could reach through some railings and gathered an impressive 50p in lost coins for our efforts.
We’re booked in at Wymering Manor on 7th Sept so hopefully we’ll be back then.
