The following note from Pauline Wilson our Orkney Local Group secretary;
Thank goodness for the young members of the WEX group who certainly swelled the numbers turning out for this annual task. We were just saying how thankful we were for dryer conditions than the previous year when the rain started, continuing for quite a while, but everybody soldiered on regardless.
A total of 24 bags of bruck were cleared from the beach and surrounding area and Andy Knight brought along the ATV to transport these up to the road ready for collection.
As an extra exercise, WEX members used items of bruck to form an imaginative sculpture of a very strange character indeed!
Two photos from Waulkmill - one taken as 'heave-ho' tactics had to be applied to a huge piece of rope; a job well done! Workers pose with the bags waiting to be piled onto the ATV.
Members of Orkney Field Club were at “The Choin”, Marwick cleaning bruck off the tidal pool shoreline on Sunday with approx. 30 bags collected.
Well done to everybody who helped - a much needed clean-up!
