 What the group were presented with to clear up after some awful people

 5 bags

 6 more bags

Total of 13 bags of bottles, cans, bowls, tents, tent poles, bbq's and much more!! Awful

The group got stuck in and managed to bag it all up and carry it out to the finish to dispose of it correctly. Bloody well done guys!
