Litter Picking by Sophie Gilmour

Last Saturday, we went out litter picking and it was raining but that didn’t stop us. We collected all sorts of rubbish including bottles, wipes, doggy bags and the biggest thing was a bikes mud guard. It was fun using the litter pickers but the things we collected were very gross. It was a nice in Hedon but the train station was old and of course it was run down but still safe. We saw cows and one was very close to me.

At the end we had three whole bags of rubbish and we were not looking hard it was really fun to do. It was very quite and peaceful, we think the path is suitable for bikes because we saw a couple. When we got home from the cold Riley, Robyn and I had a hot chocolate. I think I would like to go there again to see the cows and do some more litter picking.

A walk across the Humber Bridge

A bit of a different post today because we didn’t Geocache this weekend! We went on a walk over the Humber Bridge which is just down the road from us.

The walk was actually a part of Christian Aid. I used to do the walk when I was younger so I was delighted to reminisce and complete it again but with my own children (and husband of course).

The idea is to gain sponsorship for each crossing you complete, each side is a station in which you get your card stamped. I wasn’t expecting anymore than 2 (there and back) with the three kids.

With Robyn on her walking bike we knew this could take us some time! In fact Robyn insisted on completing 3/4 of the way on the first crossing to bike it at snail speed. How she enjoyed it and how everyone went on ahead. Robyn was determined.

This is on the other side of the Humber Bridge and with some of our Church family from Tower Hill Methodist Church.

It took us 2 hours to complete the 4 mile walk and the children enjoyed themselves.

There is a virtual cache on the Humber Bridge by the way.

Here are the children upon completion.

Now collecting sponsorship for the two crossings. Get in touch if you want to sponsor Sophie, Riley and Robyn. Up to the 19th May 2018.
