Myself, Liz, Louise and Dan met up to complete a litter pick in Exhibition Park. I had the litter pickers with me in my rucksack as they fold up as well as bin bags. Liz said I was like Mary Poppins!

We met at the Bandstand and then just had a nice leisurely walk around picking up litter.

We found lots of bottles and cans. Random finds of the day include a random sign (Louise) Ted Baker deodorant (Liz) and some very random ceramic pottery (Dan) I found a very nice Football which I left as it was too good to throw away.

We picked up 6 full bags in total which was brilliant.

Come along and join us for another litter pick on Thursday. We will meet at the Cycle Hub for a nice leisurely walk around Ouseburn!
