Four GG Yorkies, all decked out in their best ninja black, litter picked a stretch of the orbital Cycle route.

Leanne and Paul Kelly walked there on account of Leanne not being able to breathe through her cold. They had already collected a fair amount of litter on their way to meet Egg and Maddy.

The ninja four quickly got underway, picking up numerous plastic bottles, a wooly hat, a cardigan, a traffic cone, a 'bomb' (not really a bomb), and many empty bottles of wine. We appeared to have stumbled upon Party Central! Paul Kelly also found a few 'snakes' (wires.)

Our next job was to find a bin to leave the bags next to, so that the council would come to collect them. Maddy took on the Strong Woman challenge by taking on two of the heavier bags, compared to Paul Kelly and Leanne's one bag each, and Egg took on three litter pickers and her bike. Fortunately we didn't have far to go before we found a drop off point.

We celebrated our contribution to the Great British Spring Clean with a group selfie.
