During the many walks, I tend to meet the same people - who are also taking their dogs for walks, and generally just enjoying the peace and tranquility of the area.
BUT...as with all good things...it started to attract the usual litter bugs.
There was one particular time when some kids had had a barbecue down there, and left a pile of bottles, wrappers ...and just all kinds of rubbish. Although there was no damage to the area, it was really disheartening.
I met up with an elderly dog walker, who had taken her own bags down there, and had started to collect rubbish to put in her own bin. At that stage, I joined her...and this is the point when I noticed just how many carrier bags were around... stuck in trees, bushes, floating on the pond... it was a complete eye opener.
So that's basically when I started thinking about what I could do with these bags rather than just throw them away.
