This evening 2 Goodgymers donned their headtorches and high vis to walk the length of the Grand Union Canal between Leamington and Warwick, collecting rubbish as they went.
Interesting finds this evening included a giant nitrous oxide cannister, 5 coat hangers and a pack of 3 scourers - no idea how they got there!
With the rubbish collected and bagged we headed the 1 mile back towards the centre of Leamington. It's certainly getting colder in the evenings now but thankfully the weather was kind and we managed to stay dry :-)
