A heavylift crane took the strain to remove tons of metal and polystyrene foam from an inaccessible South Pembrokeshire bay at the weekend. With local climbers and other volunteers providing the clean-up team, the unsightly rubbish was lifted to the top of the 150-foot cliffs at Huntsman's Leap, near St. Govans. The metal and foam came from a container of washing machines, fridges and freezers which was swept off the deck of a cargo vessel and washed ashore. The rubbish at Huntsman's Leap was some of the last remaining pieces from the container. Local businesses readily supported an appeal for equipment to help with the clear-up. Texaco's Pembroke Refinery provided an 80-ton crane and other firms supplied skips and large building material bags. "We had great support," said project co-ordinator Robin Neath. "The Pembroke Climbing Club provided the majority of the workforce and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and Tyr-y-Felin outdoor activity centre at St. Davids have offered to help with the removal of the foam." Huntsman's Leap is on the Castlemartin Army Range and the Army assisted in disposing of all the metal. "Local climbers got involved on their own initially and cleared some of the material by muscle power only," added Robin. "With the crane and the other items, we were able to completely clear the bay. We are grateful to everyone who gave of their time and equipment." Firms sponsoring the weekend work included: Texaco Pembroke Refinery; Enviroventure Waste Solutions, Waterston, with skips; Talbot Timber with building bags; Collins Plant Hire with cutting equipment; Pembroke Hire with protective equipment, and Walter Simon with agricultural bags.
