The litter along some of my preferred running routes has been building up, so this afternoon I went out armed with my trusty litter picker and a rucksack full of bin bags to tackle the problem. It took 3 hours and 4 black sacks, but the route is (at least temporarily) litter free.

I picked up car headlights, crisp packets, cans (mostly alcohol), bottles, takeaway containers, coffee cups, scraps of plastic, masks, lots of polystyrene, and reported some fly tipping. My arms definitely got a decent workout carrying the bags.
