2012 Beach Clean

Today we we’re out in St. Bees cleaning up all the litter and debris which was scattered along the beach. We all assembled at the beach front and were allocated one of two jobs from the Don, bag holder (I was a bag holder, it’s a very important job! :D) or litter picker, we then formed little groups of three to get the job done faster!

Each group started on a different bit of the beach, which wasn’t all that messy. But then we got further along, nearer the beck where there’s some construction work going on, and the hard work really started… for the pickers. I’m just kidding, we all got stuck in an we found a number of peculiar things.


Holly kept finding bits of clothing and had me convinced that someone had been murdered on the construction site. Then Crosby couldn’t keep himself from finding the only tampons in the litter, sigh*… I think a few people had a points game going on to find the most obscure things in the litter. But all in all we got a load of bin bags filled and came out feeling more helpful than we did going in :)

It was quite a fun day and one of the last days we were all together before we finally set off to Tanzania! Personally I can’t wait! And I’m sure everyone else is feeling the build-up of excitement too! :D
