After a number of tasks with our loppers and secateurs we reached back for our litter pickers this week to help Sustrans keep the National Cycle Network neat and tidy.

Meeting at Slater St gym, the section of NCN Route 6 from there through to Abbey Park is normally littered with...litter! Alas, whether hidden under the fallen Autumn leaves or not there at all we'll never know but it was what can only be described as unusually tidy! As Dave said, it's a strange feeling being slightly annoyed that there isn't more litter to pick up!

Nevertheless we still found some junk and strolled, chatted and picked up trash through Abbey Park and back round doing lap around St Margaret's Pastures before finishing back where we started.

Still plenty of junk picked up and a 1km looking spick and span for walkers, runners and cyclists who use the paths.

Well done everyone!
