An early start so we have the place to ourselves. We cover the Abbey grounds, the car park verges and the riverside path towards the weir.

The river bank is uneven and can be slippery after rain — we will pair up anyone who would rather not go down there.

All equipment provided. Dogs on leads are fine.

Bring gloves if you have them — we can provide bags and try to provide other equipment where we can. Whatever time you have available, however small, will be very much appreciated.
