MAKING THE MOST OF THE FINE WEATHER
On Sunday September 28th the Group met to clear rubbish from the river and banks of the river Arun as well as covering the usual riverside area and footpaths. Here on the Arun the banks are steep and the river depth was tested and found to be too deep for anyone without waders.
Here is the result - an old rusty trolley found in the river (with
some wooden fencing), a large red plastic trolley found on the
river bank and a double mattress which had been cut in half and
thrown onto the steep river bank.
It was very hot work, even in the river
At last the trolley is hauled up - this was probably the last opportunity to remove things from the river before autumn and winter rains
Other items recently recovered from the riverside by members of the group included a padlock and chain to the gate of the Green and parts of a nearby Bus Stop.
