Saturday 25th October – fortunately a bright sunny day! – saw our volunteers make their way down to the iconic beach at Talisker Bay for the last clean of the year. It hadn’t been cleaned for several years, and over that time, helpful visitors had obviously contributed to a huge pile of debris against the wall at the end of the track, just above the beach. So our main focus was to remove as much of that as possible, get it into big bags and ferried back to a skip sited at the end of the public road. As well as that, another group went down onto the beach itself and collected up more debris, including a huge length of fish farm feed pipe. There was so much debris that the aquaculture material – mainly feed pipe – was collected up seperately for collection by Salmon Scotland (Many thanks to Mowi Portnalong for recoving this!) which turned out to be just as well as the skip was full when we had finished, and weight it at over 1 tonne. Many thanks to all the volunteers and visitors who also lent a hand to restore this site to its natural beauty!
