This is the northerly stretch from Quoygrew to Heugh on the edge of Trenabie Farm, courtesy local landowner.

Advance recce will be done to ensure that no bird or wildlife activity will be disturbed. There may be livestock in Trenabie fields so any dogs should be kept under effective control.

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.
