Well this is my seventh crazy challenge. I’ve accomplished a 24 hour pick, three marathon litterpicking walks, a 30 mile pick and I’ve picked up 75,000 pieces. This time, it’s trying to tackle 27 grot spots or similar in a day, so I can do a nice before and after(!) to raise vital funds for The Thrive Project, who as well as helping the homeless, support everyone in the community. The number 27 represents the snapshot taken last November, when one evening there were 27 rough sleepers in the bay.

You know the score guys! Donation link below, coffee link in my bio to support me with coffee on the day, share like mad to everyone and anyone and suggestions welcome for places that need a clean up (rubbish, weeding, graffiti - trying to get a nice route in place so I can walk/hop on and off buses and pop into Thrive too)

Due to September being rather busy, I neglected the monthly dog poo bag walk, but I was back out today to get October’s in!

Filled up a bag, lots of plastic bottles in Churston woods, and food packaging around the walk. Plenty of coffee cups too… But only 17 dog poo bags, not sure if people are changing or they are just still all hidden by the foliage and leaves still, time will tell.

Looking for small-medium grot spots in Paignton and Brixham. Ideally that would take me up to an hour to tackle, but can be a lot smaller. I’m thinking something that just needs a little time spent to make it look a lot better. For example; weeding, sign cleaning, litter picking, graffiti removing, that kind of thing. I’ve got a few electrical boxes noted that need a graffiti clean and the area outside of Eat That Frog for weeding so far! Please share!
All will become clear this weekend haha!

Would anyone here happen to know how one would get into the volunteer litterpicking crew at Glastonbury? I think I read online you have to be recommended by someone already in the team, and I’d be REALLY interested in joining next year 👀

Blustery Fishcombe this afternoon. Spotted a rainbow as I was leaving! 🌈💨🌊

Lovely mini beach cleans this morning at Churston + Fishcombe and then refuelled with a mocha from the Fishcombe Cove Café (thank you!) - Luckily not too much, but I did find an old shoe sole (not sure how old!?) and a snake lock anemone at low tide!

Lovely afternoon with Torbay Cleaner Coasts Initiative at Hopes Nose! The amount of rubbish we got up that hill was absurd! 11.5 sacks and some tent! Some bits I picked up, a knife, sanitary products, fishing hooks and lures and a Quosh drink packaging which will be from the 70s/80s!

Back on it, another bag collected around the industrial estate. 10+ dog poo bags and the same amount of glass c***r bottles too. I *think* the last photo was soup. Well, I’m really really hoping it was. 👀💀

Sorry for the radio silence, had such a nasty cold that kind of floored me. On the mend, so will be out picking soon.
