Today Belinda Lamb and I went out beyond the RSPB Reserve on to the River Thames Port of London Authority foreshore/tideline, so essentially further than Redham wall and Alpha pipe line aznd as far as Lower Hope point. This is pretty must where we have been been before for 3 plus 2 of last years Clean-ups.
Slightly disappointingly a lot of what we had once cleared was still there, whether it had returned or had just been re-exposed by the many tides in the ensuing months ? Who knows?
We decided, after viewing the again disgaceful amount of plastic before us, to clear this area once more ie a little more than a mile stretch, a drop in the ocean maybe, but each drop makes a puddle and each puddle a pond, each pond a lake, each lake a sea and each sea an ocean. So let's get out there on the 16th of February and clear our drop.

The North Kent Marshes are a very special area and worth preserving at all cost.
