Welcoming new member Kinga, four members turned up at Newbold Comyn to clear the litter.

On first look it appeared another group of Wombles had already been along and cleared the area on their way to London. But, deep among the woodland and mountain bike trails we found what appeared to be the remains of a Pool Party, lacking water. There were flamingo and watermelon inflatable cup holders, party poppers, some posh Prosecco and tons of lemonade including the pink variety. With a lot of scrambling and James bravely taking on the brambles we filled 4 bags to the brim.

It’s always a weird one litter picking, you don’t want to find rubbish as it means people don’t care but you also feel good helping clear it up and the scanning always feels a bit like a treasure hunt. We found the treasure trove today....
