Paddock

For the work party on 24th September we returned to the Paddock which had become a bit overgrown since we were last there in the spring. 

This photo shows how much has grown up over the summer. This is looking from the steps by the stile near post 12 ...

... and this is a little further in.

This is the 'open' area alongside the fence where the main path goes.

Looking back towards the stile Cathy, Aidan and Graham have made a good start clearing the new growth.

While Chris is assessing what to do next!

Meanwhile, Graham is clearing a path to the dumping area.

While this activity was taking place, I cleared the pathway leading to the lane.

Chris is making a start on shifting the arisings we created ...

... and has thrown himself into his work! 

We cut down and shifted a lot of stuff ...

... to restore this area to a more accessible space. 

Compare these photos with the ones at the top to see how much work was done by the volunteers. A splendid effort.
