Ashley and Pete met for an evening litter picking session to clear up the streets of Derby.

We mostly found facemasks, tissues, receipts and lots of food and drink packaging. We spent a lot of time around seating areas and outside of takeaway venues and restaurants where there was plenty of litter to clear. This led to lots of talk about food and what we were all having for tea...

Well done to Ashley who was carrying a weighted backpack as part of his current training plan and Pete who is still suffering with an achilles injury.

We were thanked by lots of passers by and managed to collect 3 bags of litter so a really worthwhile evening.
