A map showing the East Shore wood beach stretch plotted on it

I have litter pickers, spare gloves and so on, but please bring your own equipment if you have it and would prefer to use it.

There is parking available, just off road on the verge. I've not been to this precise location before but my research using Google Street View shows there should be spaces around for a few cars.

The road forks at a 'Y' junction with one road continuing to Hopetoun House Main Gate Lodge, and the other continuing to a dead end where there's a bit more parking. Let's meet where the two roads join, there's a grassy bit at the junction and this is right by the stretch of beach we'll be surveying.

Please email me if you have any questions at all! 

Also worth knowing…

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.

Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser. 

Sorry, there are no spaces remaining
