I was a bit late arriving as I had just completed parkrun and the wind was against me cycling to the meeting point. 5 runners met at the coffee cup to take place in the monthly beachclean. The organiser recognised my Goodgym t-shirt whilst I was running the parkrun and tried to stop me to have a conversation. By the time I met Sam, Wulf, Sarah and Jerry had eagerly headed off along the shore.

Our group found numerous little bits of plastic wrappers that we tried to keep a grip on before the wind would blow them away. Came across some plastic bottle tops and a plastic ring from a bottle. Lots of the ubiquitous cigarette ends and 2 straws. It was nice to see Sarah and her friend Jerry after their clean.

In a way it is nice that every month it seems harder to find rubbish. It is also nice that people are recognising us, in our t-shirts helping out.

Apologies for the selfie shots. Not easy when you can't see what you are doing!

Sorry I didn't get to meet you. I had wondered off down the beach and didn't see any of you again. Hopefully catch up with you on the next mission or on the weekly meet ups at some point soon.
