A BICYCLE and a shopping trolley were among the items found when a group of geocachers held a litter-pick in Pwllheli.

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a global positioning system (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called ‘geocaches’ or ‘caches’, anywhere in the world.

The litter-pick at the Lôn Cob Bach Nature Reserve was part of an international ‘Cache in Trash Out’ event.

In addition to the large items, the 14 enthusiastic volunteers also collected 30 bags of rubbish and two boxes of recyclable items from the nature reserve.

Event organiser Ann Millen, said: “Our local geocachers were keen to take part once again in this international initiative to improve our local environment.

“The group really got stuck in and also enjoyed the experience immensely; especially as we felt we wanted to put something back into the community.”
