Last minute change of plan
With the recent rain and subsequent water logged ground I needed to have a change of plan to the original one so we headed to Goring Gap to carry out a litter pick. This is always a great back up plan as, sadly there is always so much litter strewn all over this popular area.
Despite the change of location , I was so grateful for the turn out tonight. Thank you to my team - Paul, Sarah, El, Paula,Ricky, Ryan, Mel and Paul.
We split into two teams so that we weren't all following the same litter trail. Paul disappeared directly into the bushes near where we had parked and proceeded to almost fill a bin liner with discarded cans and bottles. Sad but true.
Paula, Paul,Mel Ryan headed off to do the top end of the task with Ricky in pursuit.
El and I worked as a team and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves chatting and alternating with a huge amount of litter picking. We joined up with Paul and although there was still litter everywhere we had to stop 'seeing' it as our bags were full to bursting !
We will return as there is still loads to do !
Have a great week. Special mention to Mel doing her first half marathon at Brighton on Sunday together with Paul who will hopefully be doing it if he gets better in time. Lets hoe the weather is kind and that we get the sun shining !
Hope to see you all soon.
