We scoured the lands for life threatening litter, but much to our relief, not much was found. This is due to the good work of COAST in Spring 2015, who cleared tons of waste off of Arran's beaches, and the considerate walkers and coastiers who pick up litter as they go. Interestingly, we found an 18kg gas canister, a football, a coconut shell and a tap-dancing shoe (we think). Whilst cleaning, a group of us stopped to watch a pod of porpoises playing in the Clyde! IT WAS AMAAAAZING!!!!!!Twas a wee early morning to be had by us all. And all through the lodge folks were stumbling like drunks. We set out very early (seriously very early) at 8am after a hectic breakfast. After rioting on the local school bus, we went down a dirt track (for like, 2k might I add) the beach was reached! We met Andy, the lovely fellow, who kitted us up with litter-pickers, bags and clipboards!!
We soon set off back to Brodick. Wilf and Alex had a 'Hat Off', which inspired the following Haiku;
Wilf and Alex fight
The deadly hat off goes on
The winner takes all

After visiting Brodick, we watched Lucy's mum, Sue, on her Exxpedition across the Atlantic Ocean, from the Canaries to the Carribean. The expedition consisted of 14 women with the aim of raising awareness of the plastic problem to marine wildlife and humans. This was both interesting and inspiring to us all to protect our planet.
Finally we ate a well deserved (and well cooked) Roast dinner which was enjoyed by all and was a very yummy meal to end this exciting week on. Despite our sadness on the conclusion of this fun-filled week, this Haiku emphasises our happy times here;
We've had some good times,
Are we all ready to leave?
Not presently, no.
