We went out for a night of great litter picking, and I may have overestimated my internal compass and made a few small detours.

But it was great seeing Ruth again and having Madeline for her second session!

Okay warm might have been a stretch.. But it definitely wasn't as cold as previous weeks have been!

It was a really fun evening picking up a lot of litter and chatting the whole time. We found some pretty weird stuff such as, a torn up football in 15 different parts, a single glove, half a bottle of vodka and I got taught once again about different English sweets.

It was lovely meeting Madeline for the first time and thank you to Charli & Samantha meeting us partway through the session!

I think it was Tazmin's 4th session in a row while Evelyn showed off her fancy new litter picker!

We changed it up last night and decided to do a walk and then planning session as we have been struggling to find sessions to do during the winter.

Tazmin & Charli had some excellent ideas I will follow up on and we learnt that Samantha knows everyone in the area, so will definitely lean on her connections!

We joined the Lift the Curfew session ran by the Basingstoke Aquadrome.

There were 5 of us there with 3 people choosing to walk while and Samantha & I jogged ahead and then walked back consistently.

It was amazing meeting Samantha who came to her first session and really enjoyed our chats.

See you tomorrow

It was amazing joining the Sherfield Park Conservation group as part of Natural Basingstoke!

We did coppicing, tree popping and dead wood fencing. We made a huge difference clearing out a big range.

Should be more pictures to come
