Beach Clean Port Eynon 28-03-09
This was our first beach clean of the year for our Sea Conservation group and what a glorious Spring day it was with plenty of sunshine after a miserable week!
| Around 20 of us turned up at Port Eynon beach car park at 10.30am , this was quite a task in itself as the clocks went forward one hour in the night (British Summer Time). |

Last year at Rhossilli beach we had over 30 black bags of rubbish, plus plastic drums etc. and were expecting the same today. I am happy to say that this beach did not live up to our expectations, with around 18 bags collected and a fair bit of walking done by all! |
Most of the items collected were of a plastic nature, bottle tops , fishing line, rope etc. A 6’’ knife was found by one of the children in our group and Glyn found a Divers BCD Hose, it seems that not all the diving fraternity has the same frame of mind as us.
| After the beach clean followed a well earned lunch from the chip shop followed by a visit to the local pub for liquid refreshment. |

One thing we learned about beach cleaning. Start picking at the furthest point away and walk back!...those bags get heavy! |
