The path of my triple Parkini (short for the Martini Parkun) led me along the river Roding, enjoying the scenery. But that did end in a disappointment when I discovered that the one bridge I needed was no longer in use... Backtracking did bring me along another picture opportunity for the P challenge from GG Derby!

Arriving at the temporary park now lockdown walking space it was soon clear that most people do know what to do with their rubbish - bins at both exits were about half-full with rubbish & poo bags. Ofcourse there were exceptions, as shown in one picture, where someone dropped their stuff a foot or two away from a bin...

Patrolling the grounds there was merely a single bottle to be picked up, which was a nice coincidence since my (previously repaired) litterpicker hadn't survived the trip intact! The almost picturesque shoe left in the middle did turn out less innocent than it seemed... I wont show the contents but take it from me, it wasn't pleasant.

One of the dog walkers did point out spotting a knife the other day. Luckily he did remember roughly where, so that was retrieved and disposed off as well.

Poo patrol done, it was time to continue with the triple parkrun & picture challenge.
