It was great to welcome two new volunteers to the OWL litterpick today. Especially as several of our regular OWLs, for understandable reasons, couldn’t get along.
First the intros and the important Health and Safety considerations. Then off to pick up the rubbish in the woods.
Chewing your balls this much probably requires hospital treatment and although there’s one nearby there’s a nurses’ strike today.
No time for chewing their balls, our volunteers were there to remove the various items of litter that get scattered around. Condoms and condom sachets; lube sachets; tissues and wipes.
Clearly some cruisers like to ensure their oral action is undertaken with care.
Although it’s not the busiest of times in the woods there is still some activity occurring and full sacks were brought back to base.
Then time for refreshments, a friendly chat and a friendly wave.
And back to more litterpicking and more emptying of the black sacks we leave in the various hot spots (PLEASE use them – it’s often easier to chuck rubbish in a sack than to throw it carelessly in the bushes)
Finally, the sealing of the bags.
And the sacks left ready for collection tomorrow morning.
Another good result. The equivalent of 17 sacks of rubbish collected today, plus a further 16 collected by our brilliant Solo OWLs, giving a total for this month of 35 sacks of rubbish. And two new OWLs with better knowledge of the cruising area – which we hope they will put to good use!
