Six runner made their way out to the Portway to pick litter just below the suspension bridge. It was the first time since last summer that we went out this way to collect rubbish and the site looked a bit different... a large chunk seemed to have been washed away in one of the recent floods so the area we could safely enter and clean was noticeably smaller. We still managed to fill six big bags of rubbish in one hour and while doing so marveled about some rather random items that were washed up on shore. Mark from SAS was, as ever, the most daring and went after rubbish that seemed a bit too close to the water/mud for the rest of us. Meanwhile, the rest of us tried to stay warm whilst stomping through the frozen mud hunting for rubbish.

Great work everyone!

A lovely group of 5 made it out for the first group run/walk of the year to help litter pick around the Spon End area. We started a the Spon End subway, continuing past Spon Gate subway and ending near the Sky Blue Tavern. Luckily the wind and rain held off for us and we managed to fill approx 2 bin bags full of rubbish, maybe a bit more as we had to decant some into bins along the way as they were getting a bit heavy.

It was nice to be back out, getting some fresh air and doing good after couple of weeks off. It was great to welcome some new faces, Anna and Matthew - it was lovely to meet you.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to next week when we will be back helping at clothing Coventry!
