Beach: 
Arrochar - east of metal bridge
Status: 
Confirmed
Survey type: 
Great British Beach Clean (3rd weekend in Sep)
Date & time: 
Friday, 14 September 2018 - 10:30am - 3:30pm
Meeting location: 
Meet at the picnic bench at the head of the Loch at the East carpark (at the head of Loch Long, opposite the garage).
Additional information: 

We will undertake a MCS Beachwatch survey to record the types of marine litter washing up in Arrochar, as well as a beach clean.

Make sure to bring gloves, sturdy footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather. It's been scorching hot when I've litter picked here in the past, so sun cream/sun glasses/hat aren't a bad idea, although being Scotland, perhaps you should pack your thermals too....

It'll be a great day, though don't feel you have to attend for the whole day. I'll wear a hi-viz tabard so that you can find me.
