Mick’s Sunset Bench

Posted on July 5, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

We have some new additions to our bench collection, and some modifications, due to the over-enthusiastic youth trying to wrestle with them last year, after too much fighting juice. We also have the first of the Spring blossom. The feel-good … Continue reading →

The Vision

Posted on February 17, 2022 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Sometimes it is good to pause and remember the vision that we had some 13 years ago. The railway line was not a path back then. It was an unofficial dump. We spent hours, days, weeks and even years just … Continue reading →

Posted on June 26, 2020 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Sustrans have given us the green light to work on the disused railway, but not as a group (unless from the same household) and only to do very light work. A great step forwards. I started at Potford Dam and … Continue reading →

Posted on October 6, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway
