Nathans daughter joined him on a Saturday afternoon trip to the dump, so as a sweetener he promised a trip out to the coastal path to see the horses and cows.

Disappointment all around was to follow. First new signs were up on the farm fences discouraging feeding the horses, and second, the trails were anything but trash free. After heading out onto the mud flats to see the cows safely in the distance, and looking across the Severn Estuary to mummy's homeland, they collected rubbish as they walked back to the car - coffee cups, plastic bottles and cans making up the bulk of the collection.

Hopefully for a little while all that can be seen on that section of the coastal path are livestock hoofprints (and associated excrement).
