Litter picking

A PWLLHELI councillor has joined a man walking along the coast of the UK picking up litter as he goes.

Wayne Dixon, from Clitheroe in Lancashire has taken on a mammoth 7,200 mile task, walking the whole coastline of Great Britain picking up discarded litter. He was shocked by the contrast he saw in Europe and UK. “In Britain we’re much more likely to open a car window and toss out litter in lay-bys or while travelling thus transferring the problem to someone else to clean up,” he said.

Wayne’s mission is, to clean up as he goes along and carry a message to schools, organisations and individuals that litter is everyone’s problem.Since he started he’s litter-picked and walked 1,300 miles, having just finished the 135-mile coastline in Ynys Môn.

On Monday, 27 March, he started from Caernarfon Castle along the Wales Coastal Path. On that day, he was accompanied and helped to pick litter by Cllr Michael Sol Owen of Pwllheli who said: “Wayne is doing an important job of cleaning and teaching, if we don’t look after our environment who will?”

Both litter-picked from Caernarfon along Foryd ending up in Dinas Dinlle collecting nearly 10 full bags of litter during the six and a half-hour walk.Wayne said: “I carry a full camping kit, however I’ve met several on the route who kindly put me up or feed me. I also blog my journey on Facebook and collect money for the charities Mind and North Inuit Dog Rescue Society.”

Michael Sol Owen said: “I’m hoping to join Wayne next week sometime as he approaches Pwllheli having litter-picked his way around the coast of the Llyn Peninsula.”RoadMORNING worship at the English Presbyterian church, Ala Road this coming Sunday , 2 April, will be led by the minister, Rev W Bryn Williams.

Llywyddwyd gan Eirlys Jones a hi hefyd arweinodd y defosiwn dechreuol yn seiliedig ar Salm 24.Siaradwr gwadd y cyfarfod oedd y Parch Arthur Meirion Roberts.Mewn sgwrs hynod o ddiddorol dywedodd fod ganddo ddiddordeb yn Y Genhadaeth ers dyddiau ei ieuenctid ym Manceinion. Bryd hynny byddai Cymru a gwledydd eraill Prydain yn anfon cenhadon i China, Japan a’r India a mannau eraill a chyfeirodd at yr emyn “Draw, draw yn China a thiroedd Japan” a Bryniau Casia lle’r aeth llawer o Gymry i genhadu.Soniodd hefyd at rai fel y Parch Angharad Roberts a ddychwelodd o’r India wedyn oherwydd rhesymau gwleidyddol. Pan ddaeth rheolaeth Cenhadol Cymru i ben ymunwyd gyda’r Cyngor Cenhadol Byd Eang. Mae’r darlun erbyn heddiw wedi newid, meddai, dim galwad i’w gael ond Y Bwrdd yn llenwi fel bo’r angen a rhannu adnoddau ac ati. Bellach mae cenhadon o’r India yn dod yma atom ni. Cyn cloi soniodd am Carys Thompson sydd yn cenhadu heddiw.I gloi’r cyfarfod cafwyd paned a chyfle i fynd at y bwrdd gwerthu lle codwyd y swm o £61 gyda’r swm ychwanegol o £47.83 o’r Blwch Cenhadol.St Peter’sSUNDAY: 10.30am, Holy Eucharist/Offeren Sanctaidd; 4yp Gosber.Monday: 9.30am, Celtic morning/Prayer and Meditation.
