On a surprisingly sunny Sunday morning we gathered for the monthly Great Salterns litter pick.

We met lots of grateful dog walkers and locals and found a lot less litter than on previous picks.

Interesting finds:

  • a veolia environmental service Frisbee (ah the irony)
  • an infant jelly shoe
  • a pair of glasses with only one arm
  • 3 pieces of a moped
  • a buried computer which Rachel started wrestling with and Judy liberated with the fork she handily had in her car
  • 400 (ish) old beer cans
  • half a traffic cone which Tony repurposed into a can collecting device
  • some amazing mushrooms including a puffball the size of a handball

Another GoodGym good deed as the race to 100 continues between Tony & Judy!
