Beach cleanup!

Last year, we were involved in a river-side clean up in Bath.  It is delightful when children already have an awareness of the dangers of rubbish on our beaches and are willing to get filthy and dirty in order to make our seashores a safer place for wildlife ... and more enjoyable for us too.  Four bags of rubbish, plastics and rope were cleared from a small section of our beach whilst on holiday in the Highlands.
