Running for exercise and picking up trash you find along the way. It's good for the body, mind, soul, and environment! Started in Sweden but is making its way to the U. S.

A former mining village in west Lancashire. Sometime during the 60s the village was flattened and replaced with a series of huge apocalyptic like council estates with hardly any roads leading in or out of them. Complete with dozens of grim underground subways miles of footpaths and a slightly surreal and dilapidated shopping centre known locally as the conny, skem is without doubt one of the weirdest places in Britain. Oh by the way there's no train station either, just thousands of taxis because no one drives.
Skem? That's one fucking shithole that.

You live in Skem? Fuckin ell laa heavy that!
