Four Goodgymmers met to litter pick the Castle Gardens. This was Samir's first event, welcome Samir. This is a tidy, well kept site. But we soon found plenty of cans, bottles, vapes and the usual rubbish amongst the undergrowth along the paths Stu found a stash of new, sealed, water bottles spread around in the bushes. Then a bottle of Radox shower gel. Then a bath sponge and a pair of shoes. We think Stu found the bathroom. We then went up many steps to the mound where the original wooden castle stood 1,000 years ago. Plenty of cans in the bushes here plus a bag of ants. It was soon midday and we piled the bags by a bin for the photo and walked back along the canal to our meeting place.
