Catford’s Mountsfield Park has stunning autumn colours, sadly it also accumulates large amounts of litter. It was obvious even before I’d got into the Park - two takeaway coffee cups had been left on the large gateposts - it would have costa nothing to put them in the nearby bin. The trend continued with abandoned cup after abandoned cup d(r)oppio around the park, the odd star bucked the trend and used the bins.

Other rubbish too went into the long black bag which was emptied several times around the park. Fortunately there wasn’t too much litter around the top of the park, as otherwise I would have been latte for the start of parkrun.
