Scallops and Stuff

Posted on September 25, 2024 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Six of us wildlife warriors met up today and pushed on with the path on the slightly higher ground, ready for when the main path becomes a mudbath in winter, and we also continued to scallop the path edges. The … Continue reading →

Four of us got out today at Berrybanks, we missed Dave, but cracked on with going backwards to pick up where we got to last week, and then we ploughed on northbound and got to spitting distance of The Bear … Continue reading →

The Harvest Moon

Posted on September 27, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

The Vision

Posted on February 17, 2022 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

We Are Back (sort of)

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 →

Last Summer Workday

Posted on September 19, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

It was the last summer workday in 2019, and also, probably the last time that we will go beyond Potsford Dam. The reason for this is because Sustrans are putting in an off-road cycle path from Potsford Dam to Leamington, … Continue reading →

Bilton Grange Takeover

Posted on September 12, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

With 22 (I think) youngsters from Bilton Grange Preparatory School in Dunchurch, taking over this week, I was a little apprehensive, to say the least! However, they all worked very hard and very well together. You can see in the … Continue reading →
