Posted 6 months agoSometimes you have to walk on by….. out in my neighbouring towns park and going in the opposite direction the trolley needs to go. A week later it’s still there.
Other than that it’s been a normal week of litter picking and dead badgers
Posted 5 months agoRIVER ROULETTE!
Whenever it rains and we get a high river it always leaves a mystery prize when it abates that we can see from our living room. This time it was a sledge!
Got my wellys on and found a bonus bike whilst paddling! – also two bags of dredged litter.
Did some Himalayan balsam bashing in my guerilla garden on the land opposite – I’ve no idea what I’m doing with gardening but pretty stuff seems to be growing nicely.
Also did 4bags of doggo walk litter this week.
Posted 5 months agoRepatriated a trolley this morning, fixed a tree in the local park that had a broken support, picked 4 or 5 bags of litter in the last week.
Pippa’s (border collie pup) owner was asking where to get bags from as she is going too start litter picking once Pippa’s walks increase.
Rawtenstall looking lovely as everything is in bloom thanks to CivicPride volunteers.
Posted 5 months agoNext time people with the vehicle registration containing ‘KVM’ are riding at Horncliffe woods – can you take your litter home with you please.
Posted 5 months agoRiver Roulette time again!!!!
The river has abated and today’s roulette prizes are;
Local Ford dealers car park cone thrown off the bridge
A metal barrier
Half a shopping trolley
Base of a traffic cone
A bag of general litter
Got my wellies on and collected my prizes!!!!!!
Posted 5 months agoYesterdays bagged river rubbish was left at nearest LBC bin this morning for collection. Another full bag from the local park was collected by mid walk then half a bag on the way home that joined the earlier river rubbish.
Obvious statement is obvious but nice weather = more litter.
Posted 4 months agoThanks Customer 79, I hope you enjoyed the extra onions?
Chair dragged out and dumped in local business’s skip (the owner knows me), scruffy **** picnic cleared away.
Posted 4 months agoNot sure what’s happened to my photos but in case you were missing what a bag of litter and Bert looks like…….here’s this morning’s.
Posted 4 months agoThe litter pixies have emerged from their ratholes to visit my adopted woodland with the recent good weather, I found yesterday.
Posted 4 months agoNot much recent activity due to being away for a short break but back on it this morning collecting litter and plastic that would otherwise clog our brains up.
Seeing as all my photos have disappeared heres what they looked like!
Posted 3 months agoUnfortunately, despite an awesome set of mountainbike trails being built for them, a section of riders at my local trails in Leamington still dump shit everywhere.
Me and Harold picked it up…. again.
Posted 3 months agoGetting darker in the mornings now when we set off at 6am so it’s difficult to pick litter if you can’t see it.
Couple of bags worth from the last few days to tidy up ‘my patch’ after being on holiday for two weeks.
Posted 3 months agoIt’s now too dark at 6am to see any litter so I think that’s it for now.
I’ve tried previously taping a torch to the litter picker but you need the ambient light to be able to see the litter in order to walk over and grab it rather than spotting it by torchlight. I’ll still be litter picking stuff by hand and dumping it in the nearest bin but there won’t be anymore updates for awhile.
Thanks to anyone who has picked litter up having been inspired by this thread. See you again in the Spring.
(The end of this morning’s walk – half a bag and a repatriated trolley)
Posted 2 months agoStill Wombling! (McScroats still can’t use a bin)
