Meeting point to be decided upon - watch this space! Tilly joined us on this wet Saturday. We tackled Ermine Street, starting at Dawes Lane end and getting as far as the entrance in to Appleby Woods. I need to measure it but I estimate about 1 mile. In 3 hours we filled 24 sacks and picked up some large items such as a builder's 5 gallon drum, another drum, boots, large polystyrene packaging items, polythene bags (from horse feed) and car parts. The pick up was fully laden! Thanks Ian and Tilly! So far we have filled 324 sacks, about 4.3 tons, and spent a total of 116 'man hours' cleaning up 8 miles of roads around our village. UPDATE! On Sunday 20th, we filled another 49 sacks! Progressing around Appleby Woods entrance and then the section of Brigg Road near the new wall. 10 man hours in all. Finds included 13 tyres, a monitor, gas cylinder and large drums and car parts. Watch out for next Saturday's details..
