Driffield Navigational Canal Spring Clean

Words fail me for what I witnessed today... A group of paddlers - Stand Up Paddle Boarders, canoeist and kayakers from many of our regions clubs and independant paddlers too...coming together for one purpose - to clean this special waterway of all litter and plastic. It was an intense day of very hard work, this stretch of the Driffield Navigation has always been a bit of a mess due to it close proximity to the town and the main road heading east. But as i brought up the rear on our return journey I have never ever seen it so spotless and devoid of bottles and litter. It was not until I landed back at the head did it really come apparent to just how much rubbish we had collected - over 25 black sacks of bottles and waste... Every person on the river today has given up their day to work so hard and to really make a difference to this unique and beautiful environment,,, Thank you all so very, very much...
