The rain kept off as we gathered under the suspension bridge. The tide was high but we did not want to go home. Armed with pickers we made great progress clearing the grassy verges and the sidewalk. Finds of the day were a very small plastic dog, a paddle and funnel. We gathered the rubbish near the collection area. Then off to the garden centre cafe to sample the lovely home made food. A great morning with amazing GG and Mark to really help keep this iconic area clean. ๐

A fantastic turnout today to help Mark at surfers against sewage in these wet conditions. Thanks to everyone as you made a real difference. Meeting under the skate park we paddled our way and even did a spot of boldering to keep our tootsies dry as we walked along the peel path to meet Mark and his 2 barrows. We then climbed down into the grassy verge and scanned the plain collecting as much pesky litter as possible in the hour. We handed 5 general waste and 3 recycling bag fulls. Key finds of the day was a coconut with a happy facial expression. We then barrowed our way back to the rubbish drop of point and a final photo with the fab team and Mark. We then had a lovely coffee and bite at the Garden centre. Awesome place. Great job ๐

A lovely morning greeted Aaron, Jason and David with our host Mark and special guest Mervyn. Meeting 2 barrow Mark at the bottom of Nightingale Valley, we started to clear rubbish on the verge by the lighthouse. With clear and green council bags we cleared a 100M region in the hour. So nice to look behind to see only green. Bagging up the wheel barrows and tying them down with rope, we took turns to push them all the way ๐ช back to the skate park. Great work everyone

Meeting at the groovy skate Park, Jason, James and David headed to meet Mark our host with his 2 barrows from surfers against sewage on the banks of the Avon under the suspension bridge. On the Pill side by the light house we started to scan the bank rapidly filling our green and clear recycling bags.
Two fire extinguishers, our favourite traffic cone and plastic seahorse amongst our finds. We then took turns to barrow all the rubbish back to the skate park drop off point. We celebrated with vegan mince pies and hot chocolate and departed on our merry ways. Great work ๐

Great to be joined by Ashley and Janna to meet our host Mark to get on board again to help surfers against sewage. We scaled the wall down to a safe plaice on the banks, and started to hook litter into our council provided bags. Fish of the day were 2 fishy toys, caught on camera. With only 8 pairs of fins we accumulated 6 full bags of litter , swimming the extra mile to clean under the bridge path too. We were fully bladdered by our efforts and migrated back to our spawning grounds. ๐

Meeting on the Leighwoods side of the bank we scouted out for areas of litter, expertly briefed by Sarah from the previous Wednesday mission. Armed with both recycling and general waste bags we began in ernest and rapidly filled 4 bags. Finds of the day were a toy duck and a pirate sword. Mind boggles of the journey they had been on to get here. We then paddled back as happy but muddy GG ducks. to the bridge to deposit our bags knowing that our mallard friends have a bit of a cleaner space for preening.
