8 GG Yorkies met with Richard from Friends of Hob Moor to litter pick in the forested area by the train tunnel.

Over the course of the hour, ten bags were filled. Mitch was very excited to find a a very rusty barbecue and Ed bravely tackled the smelly swamp to retrieve a tarp and a table top. The remnants of a romantic date were found (rosé bottle, WKD bottle, condom wrapper, condom, all in a pile of nettles), whilst Amy, Ben, PK and Leanne found evidence of a different sort of fun night, with a ‘homemade drug device’ and ‘premium drugs stabby thing’.

The group meandered home in the glorious sunshine, leaving a rider, safer forest ready to be balsam bashed in a few weeks.
