Part of the solution,not the pollution

- Led by Sharon
3 Goodgymers finished volunteers week helping the friends of Wanstead Parklands with their monthly litter pick at Wanstead Park
Kevin and I ran to the park via Wanstead Flats.
The friends always have litter pickers available for hire which is definitely easier than trying to run with them
We collected our pickers and bags and headed off past The Temple passing through the trees to walk down the Glade towards the Ornamental Water before wandering along the paths by Aldersbrook riding stables as we headed towards Perch Pond we saw Sharon who had gone the other way round the pond.
We dropped our full bags of litter and pickers back to the friends,they have books for sale telling the history of Wanstead House and the surrounding area.
As a thank you to the volunteers the team from Wanstead Park tea hut had arranged for a complimentary tea,coffee or ice cream(a cup of tea and a slice of bread pudding for Kevin and I)
