Mick, Aaron and me down at Berrybanks again today. It is slow and hard work and we are literally inching along at a painfully slow pace. This is where we are at, a nice V shape with a flat bottom. … Continue reading

Wet Day
Soggy old morning, made worse because we are clearing trees that are over large muddy puddles. The good thing is that the bits done in previous weeks are no longer puddled. Curious Robin came to have a look at what … Continue reading

Soggy One!
It was a bit of a damp morning after three or four days rain, but we carried on clearing the overhanging trees at the Berrybanks section. Mick and Steve tackling the wet scrub. We are slowly inching towards the underpass. … Continue reading

Berrybanks – a plan!
We had a good poke around at Berrybanks today and formulated a plan. The wild strawberry plants are doing ok but the kidney vetch is looking like it is struggling a bit. The sow thistle is rampant but there is … Continue reading
Cutting Back
I got to Berrybanks on time and thought I was on my own. Rather than start to pull up more Sow Thistle, I just wandered southwards and cut back any brambles that looked like they were heading towards the path. … Continue reading
