Canalside litter bugs (GG Manchester)
1 GoodGymer made their way to help their local community.
- Monday, 16th of September 2024
- Led by Ben Foster
A first group outing for some of the Taskforce from Goodgym Manchester.
We met up at Piccadilly train station on a warm September evening armed with spare GG t shirts, refuse sacks, a first aid kit, and Juno. Peter, Eoin and I plogged our way along Ashton canal in the general direction of the Etihad campus to scout out heavy littered areas. Given the nice evening and it being a first community task outing, we got as far as Philips Park where we really started to collect and fill up a few bin bags.
After a blitz in the park, we returned to the canal path towards New Islington metrolink before it got too dark.
We collected 7 full bin bags with an additional freezer drawer overall. It was great to meet up in person and get a good Monday mission in the log. We covered ~6.5 km in the end.
