I like big butts...
5 GoodGymers made their way 5.0km to help the Beachwatch in Bournemouth.
- Saturday, 19th of January 2019
- Led by Bournemouth runner
5 of us gathered today to help keep our stunning beaches plastic and cigarette butts free!
We ran Pier to Pier, took some photos chatted a lot and on our way back with the wind behind us even had time to stop and help a young lady keep calm....she had managed to drive onto the beach, believing that you could like back home....only to get stuck and break down in a flood of tears.
Laura was nice enough to get her to relax and soon we had a guy with a tow bar come and help her out... We didn’t do much really in the end....but did stop to help though which is what counts right?
We got back to the Pier after 5km and started on our beach clean. Chris straight away found a pound coin! Mostly there were lots of cigarette butts and small pieces of plastic. A lot of small pieces of plastic!!!!
After braving the cold and wet weather we rewarded ourselves with a drink overlooking the sea! What a great way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday!!
See you guys Wednesday!!!
