    What to expect: We will be walking along the paths of the river, collecting litter and brining it back up to the road. The banks of the Dike along this footpath are steep and we will work as a team to collect litter from the Brook and on the opposite bank and bring them back up to road level. Those who are less confident on steeper gradients can stick to the footpath. We will have a break at 11:30 am for refreshments and biscuits, provided by DCRT.
