Saturday sea dipping litter pickers

We met bright and early at the Lawns Café, armed with gloves and bags, ready to take on Friday night's beach litter.

Most of us formed a line and did a sweep of the beach all the way up to the end of the lawns. Tara and Sherman focused on the prom and the grassy areas.

There was certainly a wide variety of items for us to pick up, from wet wipes to disposable cutlery, and a few obscure items too, including one unfortunate person's solitary bikini strap. We hope you're having a better day today, whoever you are.

Afterwards Tara led us in a mobility focused fitness session on the lawns, to help loosen up our hip flexors and strengthen our glutes. Sherman tried to get away with a bit of a lie down mid-planking but as always Tara was having none of it.

Finally we dispersed, with half the group heading for a sea swim and those who were feeling brave carrying on for a sweltering hot run.

Thank you to everyone for giving up your Saturday morning. Hove's beach visitors are currently enjoying an even nicer sunbathing experience thanks to our efforts.
