This Saturday's task was at Novers Hill to help Julie and her team clear back more undergrowth and give the place a good ol' fashioned GG litter pick. A uber keen cutting crew went straight to the scythes with David S leading the way. Others took on the brambles and bushes clearing ground to keep the area accessible. Sarah H went on a solo mission to litter pick the bottom of the hill (because she wanted to climb it again obviously!) And towards the end Mel made it her mission to clear out a grate of all its muck and litter, but in the end she was drained by the whole exercise as Mr Grabbyhands just wasn't the right tool for the job. It would have taken more grabs than you would see at a toy picker machine full of large packets of Walkers crisps with unlimited credits on Weston Pier during half term when the cafe is closed unexpectedly. Next time we'll know to shovel we've got into it. Other jobs done, bushels of cleared growth launched in a neat pile, it was time for tea and cake. A Nover Hill of a spread as always from our wonderful host. Thanks to all for coming along and to the guy's who setup their own run from the Mud Dock we salute you.
