A Rambling litter pick

1pm meeting in Harrold Country Park car park area, Harrold. A 3.5 mile circular walk picking any litter along the way. Attended by 5 members, walking through Country Park, up the bridleway behind The Bell PH and back along Felmersham Road to Carlton, before heading over Harrold Bridge back to starting point. A lovely dry settled day despite being into December now - we were very lucky. Some lovely appreciative comments made by passers by in the country park were received. 8 more bags of litter to add into our grand total bringing us in excess of sixty collected so far. An unbelievable stash of dumped glass bottles found on verge which is now all cleared up. Also some ladies panties - best say no more about that..... - well done everyone! The Felmersham Road looks wonderful as does the Harrold Bridge area too. .
