Bring gloves is you have them, wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather. 

The bay is a short walk down an uneven path leading from the end of the road.

The skip will be located at the road end where someone will meet you and give you a quick safety briefing. 

Farm machinery will be used to transport litter from the bay to the skip so please be aware of this when walking on the path.

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.
