5 Bristol GoodGymers joined the local Bristol Plogging Group on their Saturday afternoon plog from Greville Smyth Park. We doubled the numbers of the normal group and made it their biggest plogging group ever!

We made a GoodGym team to tackle the litter on the towpath towards the Suspension Bridge. The five of us gathered 2 bags of recycling and 2 bags of litter from along the path, including Alice and Alex making more daring moves towards the sinking mud of the edge of the river to get the litter hotspots.

45 minutes later we returned to our meeting spot with our goods and joined the rest of the many bags which had been gathered by the team from the other direction.

A team photo or two later and we all headed our seperate jogging ways after a Saturday well-spent!
