Another threesome in the cruising area! But this activity involved litterpicking. And to be fair there were actually five OWLs involved in the session. After a chat with our friendly LGBTQ+ police liaison officer it was time to go into the woods. And soon our volunteers were hard at work.
As well as litterpicking one of the tasks was to replace the black sacks we place in many of the HotSpots. Quite a few guys drop their sexual debris in them when they’ve done the deed. (sadly, some go to the extra effort of throwing the same sort of stuff in the bushes).
Because the weather is getting worse, but significantly because a couple of our ‘solo’ OWL volunteers litterpick regularly, there was much less litter than we would usually collect.
Presumably someone was distracted as they finished and left without their umbrella?!
With practically every area having been covered by the three OWLs it was time for refreshments and a chat with one of our ‘soloists’.
A quick trip followed, to an area that might well become busier if the planned changes to the current cruising area take place.
Then the final bag-count. The equivalent of 15 of our regular-size sacks collected today.
When we add the 39 sacks collected by our ‘soloists’ that gives a total of 53 sacks of litter in the last month.
Please note that we respect everyone’s right to anonymity and only show pics of those willing to have them posted. There might have been more OWL volunteers taking part than are in the above pictures.
No inferences should be drawn from anyone’s participation in an OWL litterpicking session.
