In the freezing cold arctic conditions a team of volunteers took to Compton beach with bin bags and lots of enthusiasm to get their beach clean. Amazing work. 27 full bags brought up to the car-park and a further 19 left for the National Trust to pick-up with their tractor.

The event was held as part of The Big Spring Beach Clean in association with Surfers Against Sewage.

Congratulations to Matt Harwood, Isle of Wight Surf Club, National Trust and all the volunteers who braved the icy conditions. To top off the day we were blessed with some great waves with all the West Wight breaks firing in the afternoon.
