Four of us met at the Peace Statue, where Surfers Against Sewage were encouraging people to get involved with their litter picking drive.

We had a chatty run to the King Alfred and walked the beach to the new Rockwater site picking up all the litter we saw as we went. I felt a bit sorry for the sunbathers, didn't they know that picking up litter from the beach is much more fun than sitting on it? And you get a better suntan too!

There wasn't loads and loads of litter (thankfully) as the City Clean workers are doing a great job of collecting the big stuff. We picked up about 5kg of rubbish in around an hour.

Jacob had the richest litter pickings, his haul included a bike lock cable and a dinosaur with Helena in close second with a doll.
