On Tuesday evening, four of us (Hasna, Louise, James and Jo) braved the harsh rains and collected 4 bags of rubbish from the tow path alongside the Grand Union Canal in Warwick and Leamington. Amazing what people throw away - intentionally and unintentially. And doubley amazing how nimble those litter picking sticks are! Who knew?

Shouts of thanks from runners and rowers made it all worthwhile, even if we were a little damp at the end! And Tim Winnett (Canal & River Trust. Volunteering team leader for Hatton & Warwick) extends his warm thanks to the team for clearing that stretch of the canal.

Well done guys (just missing Hasna from the snap)!
