This is very cool, I seem to remember they did something similar years ago. My mate taught the Space course at the School of Air Battlespace Management (RAF Boulmer); having previously served at SBIRS in the US. He demonstrated the tool in one of his lectures.

It’s a UK wide problem, there are litter picking groups up and down the country; as a society we need to wake up. It’s lazy, disgusting and toxic behaviour. The group I’m part of is doing a great job, but there shouldn’t be a need for #LitterPicking #Volunteering

Morning run completed. I did an Over & Under session, 4 sets of 400m at Endurance pace and 400m at Threshold. It was hard! But very satisfying even if I was knackered on the last fast set.
