Date: 28 January 2009
Location: Wick, Caithness
Caithness Countryside Volunteers turned out in force on Sat 24th January, to give part of the Telford Lade in Wick a thorough clean out. Organised by The Highland Council's Countryside Rangers, the clean-up event proved very productive with a shopping trolley, children's bike, two prams, some traffic cones and numerous other items fished out thelade. The amount of rubbish collected was a tremendous effort from all the volunteers. This historic water course, located near Pulteney Distillery, wasdesigned by the world famous engineer Thomas Telford. Assisting the Countryside Rangers were Jenny Bruce and some folk from the Wick Paths project, who are looking to establish a historic walk along the lade
