Ditch Pigs Camino Cleanup 2016: They're BACK!

[Rebekah Scott]

The Pigs are Back! We'll converge at Peaceable Kingdom in Moratinos on the 27th November to work our way across the wilds of Palencia for the following four or five days, clearing up trash from Puente de Itero to Sahagun. Don't complain about the trash on the trail, come and be part of the solution!

We have a new furgoneta, as well as a brand-new TrashWagon to break in, thanks to a grant from American Pilgrims on the Camino!

There's room for FOUR in the big house, and SIX if two extra souls are hardy. Contributions are cheerfully accepted to pay for gas for the car and food for the volunteers.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

The Pigs are Back!

Thank you Pigs.

 

[Nanc]

Wonder thing. Wish I was there to help. Can a contribution be made through PayPal?

[SYates]

Ok, count me in! I send you a PM. SY

 

[Kanga]

Dear @Rebekah Scott , this is such a valuable service, and we are in your debt once again, especially as your life has many demands. I really, really would like to come and help - but three days of flying and travel to get there and three days to get back, let alone the couple of thousand dollars for the airfare ..... I will just have to make a donation to the cause and hope some of our closer members can substitute for me.

Those of us who complain about litter on the camino - here is a chance to help, preferably with labour and in person, but if that is not possible by a donation in support.

Thank you to all who volunteer.

[SYates]

Here's a gentle bump on the PayPal contributions???????

The link to the Paypal Donation button can be found here: http://moratinoslife.blogspot.com in the top right corner ;-) And I am sure that Rebekah will appreciate a note/comment with your PayPal stating if it is especially for the clean-up or for the general 'Feed a Pilgrim' fond ;-)

Buen Camino, SY

 

[jerbear]

Thank you. For the last 5 years i pic litter from my caminos.

 

[vlebe]

Awesome work!!!! If I could I'd join you !

But as mentioned on the first Post, in the next month I'll be going through the Aragones and Frances, always carrying a huge plastic bin bag with me and will try to be as Ditch Pig as possible during this next journey!

Let's always try to engage as many people as possible so they can help out during their trips. If every pilgrim not only clean after their own mess, but - lets say - also collect one other bag of trash... Things will be much better ( and easier for the Ditch Pigs Crew!!)

Happy cleaning pigs!!!!!

Thank you !!!!

 

[SYates]

Oh, forgot to mention - I am happy to take the rough spot for sleeping ;-) I just borrow a dog or two to keep me warm SY

 

[alansykes]

Not sure if I'll still be around then, but willing if so. When you say you have room for "six if two extra souls are hardy" do you mean a mattress on the floor or the porch of the church?

 

[SYates]

I take either! Actually I like church porches! SY

PS That reminds me of when I was a hospitalera in Foncebadon ... but will not bore you with that story ...

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Of course you won't. So tell it.

 

[tyrrek]

My girlfriend will kick my shins if I go off to Spain again without her. Just out of interest, though...is there still space?

 

[SYates]

Yes, please, @Rebekah Scott , tell us - are we in or out? Flights need to be booked soon! SY

 

[SYates]

Of course you won't. So tell it.

Life is very good (and way too full to be spending much time here at all) but I'm still envious.
Brava to you, Reb, and to all the 2016 Ditch Pigs...hoping you have a LOT of laughs together while you're cleaning up the way!

 

[Rebekah Scott]

It looks like we are now at capacity, if not a little bit OVER! Two will have to sleep in the Priest Hole, which might be a bit chilly, and/or on the sofa, which includes your choice of dog. My thanks to all the kind people who've sent support for the effort.

We may have to hire a logistician to figure out how to best cover the mileage with the available equipment and personnel... but then, we have T2Andreu.

 

[SYates]

I can take the chilly place as long as I get a 'dog blanket' ;-) SY

 

[t2andreo]

Oh goodie! Whilst all you folks are sleeping with dogs (I'm somewhat allergic), and roughing it in the "priest hole," perhaps Rebekah and Paddy will take kindly to the 60-something guy who snores and needs the toilet during the night. Dibs on the guest room?

I need to make reservations. But my plan is to fly from MIA to MAD, rent a car and drive. This provides the most flexibility and is not all that more expensive. Plus, we could use the extra carrying capacity for the "pig crew." Also, I may arrive a day early to help with shopping to feed the crew, so a car is useful.

 

[LiesbethSA]

Thanks do much Ditch Pigs - I would love to be part of a solution to put you out of work ... to create awareness for the environment and our responsibility to it! We do not have to trash!! We can repair the trail, stop erosion etc. but trashing (not) is every one's own responsibility!

 

[tyrrek]

If we have too many ditch pigs, I'll volunteer to go to the abattoir (so to speak). I've been fortunate to take part several times, and we don't want anyone taking the dogs' beds from them, do we? Have fun!

 

[Tincatinker]

Acch, Tyrrek. You know there is no such thing as too many Ditch Pigs; just sometimes not enough ditch

I'll not be there this year - so that will reducing the snoring by at least one entire Tinker - and we all know that SY will sleep standing up if she has to. Don is 'too much' to be bothered by mild inconveniences and Tom will be able to talk you all to sleep no matter the storms that rattle.

I have family and tribe stuff to do and am honoured by my obligations but I still wish I could be there with you amigo, in the frosty, misty morning - scooping pilgrim trash with my Marigolds and tongs.

A Tinker's blessing on all Ditch Pigs.

I'll send you all a drink

 

[Rebekah Scott]

So the list is like this:
Biarritz Don
SYates
T2Andreau
O'Malley
Kieran
Me and (sometimes) Paddy.

I think we'll pull this off.
Just bought a big box of trash bags, and some spankin' good picking-up tongs. Bring your boots and a hat, and vitamins. We may go back far as Castrojeriz, I am told the Alto is really bad.

 

[t2andreo]

Someone needs to remember to get the industrial sized Volatren...you know the one-liter pump bottle... This group of lumpy, achy, on the south side of 50 folks is going to need it at the end of each day.

Oh, and don't forget the case of vino tinto... Perhaps a nice Tempranillo, or a full-bodied Rioja? Better yet, two cases...why be forced to choose...?

 

[Tincatinker]

The stuff from the chicken-feed merchant hits the spot - and no cork-screw required. Reb will know where I mean.

Have a good time amigos. You will deserve every glass.

 

[Rebekah Scott]

Some very kind people, as well as a couple of Pig Alumni, have now donated more than enough to feed and water many pigs for several days.
Much as my capitalistic little heart hates to say it: You can stop sending money now, people!

And thank you from the bottom of the barrel.

Just for the record: a lot of full-bodied Rioja IS Tempranillo.
Tempranillo is the grape. Rioja is where the wine is made.
At Peaceable, we often go for Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero.
Or Rioja from the chicken-feed store in Carrion de los Condes!

 

[KinkyOne]

Ah, some day, some day, when I'll grow up and have enough (time) money..........
Envy you all a A LOT!!!
Have a great time together

 

[t2andreo]

I always say, go with what you know best. Make it two cases...unless Don is bringing ample vino de Francia...

 

[SYates]

Hi fellow ditch pigs,

I have good news, I can get rubbish tongs to Moratinos - no more twisted-aching backs in the evenings ;-) OK, perhaps a little still. I already PMed @Rebekah Scott but she doesn't seem to be at her computer ;-( Can somebody of you that knows her correct postal address PM it to me and also how many rubbish tongs do we need - 6? Buen Camino, SY

PS To see how the rubbish tongs story developed have a look here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/dont-rubbish-the-camino.44176/#post-458978

[SYates]

Thanks! SY

 

[SYates]

Seems auto-correct got you there, that should be Palencia - correct? SY

 

[Tincatinker]

Palencia is right SY. I'm gonna edit the details out of sight in a moment or two so I hope you had pencil & paper handy

 

[SYates]

Go ahead, all copied, corrected and email send - was just about to suggest to mods an edit - Great minds/two fools ;-) SY

 

[Canuck]

Correct. Sorry I didn't notice.

 

[Lynda t]

Please a bit more notice. I am in Spain and would have loved to have helped but Im booked on a ferry from Cherbourg on the 2nd Dec. I even have my own accommodation re small motor home.

 

[Michael Caleigh]

Oh if I would have known earlier....We should organize this for the CP. I mean it´s not really necessary as much but it would be nice to have another reason to walk again....*misschevious grin

 

[SYates]

Ok fellow Ditch Pigs, my fellow countrymen came back with an offer to me:

First thing - We get a substantial discount if we provide pictures of 'the action'. At the moment I am (nearly) camera less (only an iPhone 4) so is somebody else bringing a camera? Important the people (us) don't have to identifiable in the pics (I rather prefer not to be identifiable myself!) just a few pictures before/after (ideally with way marks to show it was indeed taken on the Camino) and a lot of filled rubbish bags will be enough for them. Is that ok with you? I will take care of the pictures and a short report in German for them - just need a camera or - in a pitch - will use my old iPhone.

Also - who wants a rubbish tongue (https://www.allbuyone.com/de/produk...inigung-und-muellentsorgung/muellzange.html)? They are 93cm long and sturdy, so should prevent twisted backs ;-) I will order one for myself, but how many more are needed? See list in next post.

I need to know how many to order ;-) Thanks and looking forward to meeting you all, SY

 

[SYates]

Can those of you that come please simply say yes/no in the following list?

@SYates - Yes
@t2andreo - ?
@O'Malley - ?
@Kieran -?
@Rebekah Scott - ?
@Paddy - ?

Thanks and sorry for being over-organized ;-) SY

 

[Saint Mike II]

Oh, forgot to mention - I am happy to take the rough spot for sleeping ;-) I just borrow a dog or two to keep me warm SY

Hi Sybille - the dogs might not really want company??!! Thanks for the link - I think I can manage a small donation.

 

[Saint Mike II]

Hola @Rebekah Scott; Like Kanga I just cannot see my way clear to join the clean up. But as per my "don't rubbish the Camino" post I will try to "do my bit" whilst walking. Cheers

 

[Saint Mike II]

Seems auto-correct got you there, that should be Palencia - correct? SY

Yes - that is the correct spelling. SY I have sent you the address via PM. Cheers Mike

 

[Anemone del Camino]

@rebekah, unfortunatly I was unable to get a Salvador companion and will not be walking this fall.

This being said, there are so many of us on the Forum walking here and there and at different times, and there is no bad time to pick up trash, on any route.

I am wondering if there is a way to organise "micro cleaning campaigns". Perhaps have a few friendly albergues store bags and gloves, as well as accept trash. Have volunteers wear a "Ditch Pig" badge and have them encourage their... oh, I hate this term but here goes.... "Camino Family" join in the project.

Bags can be smallish so no vehicle is needed. These would be fabulous for the unspeakable dropings; would it be possible to find sponsors for them? :

https://www.google.ca/search?q=poop...&hl=fr-ca&client=safari#imgrc=XlsaHDei_NuOPM:

And then, the dream... less fancy and perfectly fine mojones being replaced by practically identical once and have the "authorities" install bins every 2 or 4 km, even every 6?!

Surely a lot more work than it may sound like, but you have lots of soldiers on the ground with is here.

 

[C clearly]

I like this idea! One could plan a shorter day, do some clean up, have the place to dispose of the bag, and then the recognition received at the albergue would be a hint to other pilgrims!

Not a bad idea at all methink. Maybe even with fluorescent vests with clearly printed signs of "ditch pigs" or similar which could be distributed in albergues. No need for vast numbers of them though as info would spread I think. And when you're done with litter picking or your Camino you can leave the vest in any albergue? Even if people wouldn't choose to wear that vest and pick litter along the way they would be more aware of "leave only your foot-prints" along the way.

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

the only problem I see with trash bins along the way is someone would have to go out to empty them. I think along the Frances the towns aren't much more than 5-6km apart in many places...if people won't carry their trash to the next town to throw away, they are too lazy to carry it to the next bin. Actually, I see another problem. Some self-entitled fool would scribble something stupid on the bins. I like the idea that everyone pick up a little trash...maybe during the summer rush bed priority could be given to those who arrive with a bag of it

 

[t2andreo]

Yes, I will gladly use a longer rubbish tong.

As my German is horrible, I cannot sort the search function out on the above site.

Will reimburse you when we meet.

Thanks for coming up with this back-friendly idea.

Tom

 

[SYates]

Nops, nothing to reimburse! Just need to know the numbers to order, SY

PS So far we have:

@SYates - Yes
@t2andreo - Yes
O'Malley - ?
Kieran -?
@Rebekah Scott - ?
Paddy - ?

 

[Rebekah Scott]

sorry guys. I am up to my eyes in a huge translation project, and avoiding too much internet interaction due to the stress of the US elections. And winding up the season at Albergue Villa de Grado too.

All the programming stuff looks very fine and sane, but right now just the Ditch Pigs program "as is" is all I can deal with. There's only one of me. If anyone else wants to step up and start something and run it, by all means go for it, you'll have my full support!

As for rubbish tongs, I have what I need here already. I avoid making promo deals before I see and use a product; it's putting my integrity and "brand" on something I don't know anything about yet. With the ample support we enjoy from the people here, we can afford to pay full price for the material we use and the skilled people we employ. If we really love something, we can send nice letters and photos to the vendor after we've made our determinations. Not that I don't really appreciate all the groundwork you are doing, Sybille. We need about six of you over here, to get things going and keep them running efficiently.

 

[SYates]

The Germans completely understand that, they don't want a 'promo deal' they want photos of what we have done AND if the tongues don't work out that will be also be said/shown.
I think I just order 3 then (I am paying them, so no extra costs for the ditch pig fund ;-) for @t2andreo and me and one extra to try out for the rest of you ;-) SY

 

[t2andreo]

Seems a reasonable compromise to me. Variety is the spice of life...

Got a big tube of Voltaren today, as well as a big box of Paracetamol tablets. The feed-store Rioja is set up and ready to tap, once the crowd arrives...

the pick-uppers arrived in fine shape. We'll give 'em a good workout!

The work continues apace. The trash cart arrived today at Peaceable, David the Builder and I went to the metal shop for iron and wire-mesh and other fascinating things needed to make it Just So... It's gonna be great! I have reflective vests and bags and tongs for everyone, as well as Voltaren cream and legal pain-killers of various types for apres-pig afflictions. Paddy's planning the evening meals and breakfasts.

Please, all Pigs, be sure you have adequate insurance cover, should something untoward happen to you. We are a totally non-profit, volunteer enterprise. You gotta make sure to take care of yourself while you're here, we don't have the resources to cover you ourselves.

 

[peregrina2000]

Will there be early bird sign-ups for 2017? Wishing you guys a joyous clean-up.

 

[VNwalking]

Wishing all pigs happy wallowing...and a big thank you to Reb and Paddy!

Just to take a bit of stress out of your life - I am covered insurance-wise, so if I am getting eaten by the dogs or one of the ditch pigs hits me 'accidentally' over the head with a rubbish tong - no problem for the Peacable Kingdom ;-) SY

 

[t2andreo]

Just get me to the nearest airport and I am good to go. My tetanus vaccination is still current, and I have had all my other necessary and proper "shots."

See you on Saturday.

 

[t2andreo]

Just had a thought, if this thing gets "legs," and interest swells, you might have to sublet Bruno's place for extra lodging in future...

Sound advice. In my 4 years as a Ditch Pig I've suffered no more than a groin strain, a near-death flu, and gunshot wounds. You might not be so lucky.

Seriously though, have a great time and thanks to you all!

I told him to wear gloves, but Nooooo....

 

[Stivandrer]

gunshot wounds !!!!!!;
- never wear an ginger fleece and risk being mistaken for a fox when rummaging the bushes......

 

[t2andreo]

That is why:
1. My tetanus vaccination is current...
2. I am bringing several pair of work gloves...
3. I also have a few pair of rubber gloves...
4. I packed my carbon fiber walking staff with the tungsten pointy bit for stuff needing a REALLY long pole...
5. I have a neon, safety lime-yellow knit watch cap for my head.

Rebekah is supplying safety-colored vests and pick-up tongs for the "Piggy Crew." SYates is bringing my "special," longer über tongs made in Germany...THIS I gotta see...I just LOVE German engineered products!

One can never have too much protection. I have seen what my fellow peregrinos, albeit the piggy type, as opposed to the "pack-it-out" folks who grew up in the US and maybe Canada during the late 1960s and into the 1970s with the teary-eyed Iron Eyes Cody advert on the TV, leave behind...eeeuw!

As a former Boy Scout, one is always prepared.

Putting the finishing touches on packing now...I hope the dogs like their US vaca chew bones...

 

[VNwalking]

Now you're talking, Tom. Some things are more important than others.

Assuming Spanish customs permits me to bring the vacuum-packed bones into Spain, Saturday evening will be barbecue flavored for Rebekah's menagerie. I also have pigs ears...

Photos to follow...I hope.

I already had worst days than these in my life!

Enjoy the walk, the weather and the Peaceable Kingdom and thank you for your work!

Buen Camino, Jacques-D.

 

[Rebekah Scott]

Today it was Puente Fitero - Itero de la Vega - Boadilla - Fromista. Crew is showing signs of wear and tear. The trail is looking GOOD!
Tomorrow, Fromista to Carrion, and then the little strip from San Nicolas del Real Camino to the Leon border.
Then, Et voila!

Hi to the wonderful and lovely ditch piggies. All my sympathy.

 

[Sheffield James]

It's a great privilege to be a second-time ditch-pigger. The weather is even better than last year in that we don't have to survive an early morning ground frost before we begin to enjoy the warmth of the some bright, sunny days.


A big thank-you must go to those who have given moral + financial support for Rebekah's project. We seem to get a fair amount of praise for our efforts (having fun, really!), but your contributions also need to be acknowledged. They are certainly appreciated!!

 

[VNwalking]

Thank you.

Hi @Rebekah Scott I met you guys right up there on this day! I`m not sure if you guys will remember but we stopped (me and my wife) to chat with you a little while but then I had to move on... Schedule thing! Hehehe
Once again, kudos to you all for doing this... I found the CF part way much cleaner in 2016 than the previous time in 2013! Maybe thats just because of the season but, deep down I hope its a trend and that less people are trowing garbage around and more people are helping to clean!


Ps: ROughly 01 hour later on that same day I also met @SYates (SY! It was a pleasure to meet you that day!!! ) resting from the hard work under a tree ! I mean... I met several others of you guys that day, but couldn`t recall all of your names!

Sounds like the Ditch Pig may be calling your name! Check back here late in the year to see what's the PLAN!

Thats right @Rebekah Scott ! It seems like the "Camino" has decided to call me to do it differently next time!!

Count on me! Who knows right!? Maybe next time I`ll join you guys!
