Rachel and Natalie joined James for his 3rd good deed of the week (or might we say he joined us as he did arrive a little late in his typical fashion 😉). We joined other volunteers for the Sheaf and Porter River Trust and River Stewardship Company in the park and ride at Abbeydale Road "Big Tesco" before gearing up to dig through some litter.
A few donned waders and life jackets to get down in the water, whilst most of us stuck well away from the water on the bank. The worst litter was at the bottom of a wall, where it clearly gets dropped regularly from above. I've rarely seen quite so much - layers upon layers to excavate. I wish I'd remembered to get a before and after photo!
After 2.5 hours solid picking, we returned with our haul, Natalie and I meeting up with James back at the van as he'd ended up in a different spot.
