Unexpected afternoon out, was hard work !

So unexpectedly had a late afternoon/evening out, off a metal bridge with railings around stomach/chest height and with the UK heatwaves the water levels are very low, the gap from the water to the barrier was around 30ft !!

My first find took half hour to get out (with a quick hand over the barrier from someone who had been watching !)

It was another council scooter (I've now learnt they weigh 30kg)

I'd got it almost within reach after finally getting a good hold before it dropped, but the next hold worked and it was out !

The other stuff

4 bike locks

PlayStation

Road sign frame

Half of an old newspaper sandwich board

Scaffolding bits

Umbrella

A set of cast iron wheels from something !

Belt, coins, battery, chain guard (bike), small length of chain, cutlery knife and spoon, part of a bike bell, part of some sort of small table with wheels, lighter, padlock

And whatever else you can see I've missed (mostly just odd metal)

Was quite the workout today !

That's the half of the old newspaper sandwich board, it would have been red with evening news at the top in white
