I took a Friday lunchtime plog along the adopted section of the canals in Birmingham which we will soon be helping to spruce up (COVID permitting!).

It was a pleasant surprise seeing how relatively clean the canal was despite a lack of litter picking recently except for a few hardy goodgymers! There were of course a few little surprises along the way, including some fireworks, countless festive coffee mugs and even some string, hence the pun!

Hope to see you all for the big canal mission in a few weeks!
