Litter picked and snipped
It felt like we were never going to get to the end of our litter picking and snipping back sessions over the last few months. But we eventually got to the little triangle of light at the end. Everything is … Continue reading
Another Solo Workday
This week was just a bit of “light touch” maintenance. Actually staining one of the picnic benches. I will give it another coat and do the underside, on my next visit. It was a good time to enjoy the path. … Continue reading
We Are Back (sort of)
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

Spring has Sprung

Trying to balance and spin all the plates on the greenway is tough… A bit like life in general I guess, with so many things pulling at you for time and attention. With the path, it could just be a … Continue reading
