The result was a staggering 20 plus rubbish bags full of discarded bottles, plastic bags

and general litter, with two tyres and the remains of a greenhouse being left for collection later.

After all that work, the team headed to the garden centre for a warming drink.

The Horncastle group’s purposes are firstly to ensure local footpaths are kept clear and well marked and, secondly, to publicise the area to walkers for the benefit of local hotels, pubs and restaurants.

Throughout the year the group holds regular walks, usually no more than five miles, which

are free and open to everyone.

Between the walks working parties are formed to tidy up the town’s footpaths.
