We were a bit overawed by the sight of all the washed-in rubbish on Tipner Shore - vast quantities of small pieces of plastic and large pieces of polystyrene and timber. Luckily, John & Vicki had brought their wheelbarrow and we had lots of sacks.

90 minutes later we had a barrow-load and had made a slight dent in the amount on the Shore. And we had chatted to several grateful passers-by.
