After saying goodbye to the others, Ben and I joined in with the litter pick in the Jewellery Quarter. We were late after walking back from the canal, so we picked along Camden Street and Pope Street until we got a message back from the others to find out where they were. This gave an opportunity to test the new litter pickers’ magnets on the numerous NOS canisters we found. The good news is they attract. The bad news is that the magnet isn’t particularly strong!

After picking our way round the loop, we caught up with the others further down Camden Street. Leah had separated lots of recyclables and I got to meet Duncan properly, as he has also had a great role in setting up these litter picks as well. We found a few of the throw zones at the bottom of the hill, particularly at the abandoned car dealership, which had zombie film levels of weeds, along with lots of litter and the odd syringe as well. We then climbed back uphill towards 1000 Trades where Ben went for a takeaway and I dropped off bags in the collection point in a nearby square.
