A short hop down on to the river this evening after a request from the Canal & River Trust to help clear some of the access stairways along the River Soar in the city.

We litter picked as we walked between bridges, taking a healthy bin bag full of litter each along the journey, also discovering a clothes airer and various cones and pop up cycle path bollards thrown in hedges.

On the access steps we cut back the overhanging greenery which was particularly thorny so quite an inconvenience for people using them on their commutes.

Once we'd cleared as far as Mill Lane we headed back via Bede Park, taking in our first LOROs rocket since that little trail started, one down, 39 to go!

Well done team! HD
