With heavy rain earlier on in the morning, wet weather was expected however the sun soon shone and it began to heat up. Having not advertised the event well I was the only Goodgymer to sign up, however around thirty green party members as well as the general public were ready for some litter picking on a fine Saturday morning. Three different groups were available to join; litter picking on a canoe as a pair or heading right or left along the river as a walking group. Having registered and collected my gloves, hi-vis and litter picker, I caught up with the left side group.

One hour later and after collecting one full bag and just as areas seemed fully litter picked, a bush would revealed more litter licking goodies including beer cans amongst some dangerous syringes which were left alone and reported via the council website.

Items found included plastic, a halloween ghost light, road lamp and a fully working bike!

After a great day spend meeting new people, one of the group kindly took my photograph!
