4 GoodGymers battled the winds whether by running or walking to meet up at speakers corner for a morning beach clean! We joked about changing the clean to be in this sheltered square but eventually mustered the courage to head back into the wind and onto the beach.

John & Geraldine headed towards the pier she Vicki & myself went towards the rock by castle field. The beach was surprisingly cleaner than usual and we only found small bits blown up to the top of it. So once Vicki got herself out of a rock and a wet place (the waves) we headed back to the pier to find the others. Our most interesting find was a bossy dog rolling around in the pebbles till his human finally agreed to walk him down to the water!

Back on the pier side, John & Geraldine were much more successful with there findings. I caught Geraldine drinking on the job under the pier (just kidding!) and she had to dispose of half a bottle of rosé to put in the recycling bag. John found some more recyclables, but mainly found not only our litter pick sock find, but also a pair of trousers & gloves to join a sole rubber shoe!

After playing around with our findings we finally chucked it all in the trash and John & Vicki took the recycling home with them. Then we said our goodbyes and made our separate ways back into the wind.
