Our chosen walk was a cycle trail that we chose to revisit from the previous weekend. Why – because we wanted to pick up all the plastic litter – mainly drinks bottles – that had been dropped along the route, discarded by people out enjoying the environment but spoiling it for others. Hidden amongst the autumnal leaf litter we many lots of the other sort of litter in the shape of plastic bottles, cups and packaging.

During our four-hour ramble we managed to pick up 257 pieces of plastic litter – another successful hoard to add to the total.
