litter

After reading this article on rubbish, what is exactly what it appears to be, like to point out few key facts, firstly to blame one particular group of people for the rubbish at Borth is very closed minded, the simple fact is that anyone from any back ground who goes to Borth is capable of leaving rubbish on or around the beach, normally the culprits are people who do not have any respect for the environment they are visiting.
The people who go regularly would to my knowledge not dream of polluting the environment, we know and enjoy so much.

There was a Borth council meeting last night so I go the Ynyslas councillor (who just so happens to be Anna) to bring this up at the meeting saying that some of the locals and the regualr kitesurfers/windsurfers were concerned about the amount of rubbish on the beach after the bank holiday weekend and that we wanted to organise a beach clean.

The council are willing to back it and we have a few people to contact first in order to get it organised as we need facilities for disposing of the rubbish we collect etc.

The wheels are in motion and hopefully we'll be able to organise a beach clean soon.

just got back from France and must say that the peeps in france seem to respect their beaches far better than some of the slobs i have seen wallowing about and leaving their fish and chip papers etc where they sat!.....a large gun springs to mind!
well done with the litter pick Al, will be up for that!

Al you can me in on the clear up action.

Andy and myself started the ball rolling at the weekend. Firstly Andy cleared the van area and filled a bin bag full(mainly with dog poo bags and nappies) on arrival on Friday night. On seeing Andy do this a few other campers joined in too (not regulars). On Sunday I approached a group camping in the big dune (Polish) and gave them two bin bags and asked if they could clear up and remove their rubbish especially the sanitary products left by the ladies in the group. Surprisingly they did it.

Daffyd was around on Saturday and I did approach him on the litter issue and the fact that he has kept the gate locked open. Firstly and unfortunately he was suffering from a hang over and his language was very colourful and I am unable to repeat this on the forum. He basically does not give a hoot, even when I suggested it could put the car park in jeopardy. His reply was simply 'just let them try', bit sad really. I also suggested to him that leaving the gate open was asking for trouble, but I think the extra little revenue from motorhomes other than the massif he likes (easy money at £5 a pop). Just hope the golf club supports his actions, we will see.

But it does show that when the regular Massif are away that the litter problem is at it's worst, it was a shame that this post started off blaming the "kitesurfers", but we know how you like a debate Al and you certainly stirred it up. But at least the "kitesurfers" have all been the first to offer their support and help
