On a much less stormy night, we gathered again to pick up where we left off at Acorn Rugby Club. We spread out, with some heading round the block again and others heading over to the edge of Hob Moor, which proved very fertile hunting ground.

Very soon we had made our bags too heavy and headed back to get ready to run. After gathering the troops, we took a quick photo and went on our merry ways (woo, sprints!). Debs stuck around to finish off her pick, having arrived a smidge late, and managed to find a rather alarmingly large knife (safely stowed and notified to the police)! Cleaner and safer streets tonight!

Meanwhile Laura and David set off from home to pick around Poppleton Road, David still being a bit poorly, and managed another good haul.
