HELPING TO CLEAN UP OUR COAST AND COUNTRYSIDE
This morning, my alarm was set for 5:00 for an early morning beach clean. I arrived at Minehead Warren Road Car Park where all was quiet and just a couple of camper vans parked up overnight. I headed east along the shoreline and soon found the first plastic bottle washed up on the tide and more items as I went along and within 20 minutes, I had already had the first bag filled. A bit further and there was the remains of somebody's barbecue with cans, bags and items of clothing. A little after 6am, the morning sun rose over the Bristol Channel promising another glorious day ahead. With plenty to carry, I headed back to the car where I met a worker of idVerde emptying the litter bins and said he would take it away for me and thanked me for doing it. It was a lovely way to begin the day and made my 7am start at work so much easier! I'll be doing plenty more litter picks over the coming weeks with beach cleans planned as follows: Saturday 2nd April at Watchet 2pm - 4pm; Sunday 3rd April at Minehead 2pm - 4pm; Saturday 9th April 10am - 11am; Sunday 10th April 10am - Noon. I'm hoping to visit other sites across West Somerset and Exmoor and with the Easter holiday coming up and a few days off work, I shall be heading further afield with litter picks planned in Epping Forest and Hampstead Heath.
