RUNNERS from a Malvern group joined forces to clean up the Malvern Hills.

The Malvern Buzzards Running Club committee led a team over the hills on June 14 covering the beacon and British Camp following the recent increase in visitors.

Together they cleared large amounts of waste away while running and walking across the hills, filling up several bags in their mission to "reclaim the hills".

Taking part in the clean-up were Andy Dingley, Marc Heptinstall, Simeon Foreman, Adam Wilson, Clare Wood, Kate Dolphin, Lily Price, Matt Downes, Lyndsey Price, Robin Gordon.

New guidelines state up to six runners can take part in a group run as long as they are outdoors and remain two metres apart.

A Buzzards spokesman said: "Malvern Buzzards Running Club will start to slowly reinstate our group runs this week which will consist of one group leader and up to five attendees.

"Those that are new to, or have been reacquainted with running since lockdown are encouraged to join us.
