Today's challenge was too clear as much litter from a ditch as we could in an hour.

Jenny and Becki from the council actually got into the ditch and focussed on pulling out bikes, trolleys, lino and garden furniture. The rest of us non-wellied up folk explored the brambly edges with an assortment of litter pickers, including some extra long ones.

Within an hour, we'd filled 5 bags of litter and left Becki and Jenny to it with the promise of more ditch-related picking in the future. Next time we might even bring our wellies so that we can join in with the really fun stuff!
