A Path For Everyone

Posted on February 10, 2022 by Paul

The path cannot be just a nature reserve, or just a dog walking route, or just a mountain-biking trail, or just a walkers’ ramble. It has to be able to cater for everyone, hence the tagline – “more than just … Continue reading →

Solo Sunday

Posted on December 12, 2021 by Paul

This was our first weekender in a while. Coffee for one!! Loads of people walking past though, so not a problem. Really leisurely couple of hours and got about 30 metres of path pushed back. Actually remembered before and after … Continue reading →

Two Abreast

Posted on November 18, 2021 by Paul

One thing that we learned this year and last, is that the path works so much better when it is wide. This is because it feels far less intimidating if people can see 100 metres or so ahead of themselves … Continue reading →

Dino Trail is Back

Posted on November 11, 2021 by Paul

We have redone the Dino Trail. I have possibly gone too far the other way and made them a bit too camouflaged. I will let your children be the judge. Please pass on their feedback. Just to remind you – … Continue reading →

We Are Back (sort of)

Posted on June 26, 2020 by Paul

Litter-Pick and More

Posted on January 25, 2020 by Paul

Aaron, Mick and me today. We started at the underpass and worked northwards to The Bear bridge. The Sainsbury’s bag was for the coffee, so considering the ground that we covered, not a lot of litter to pick up. But … Continue reading →

New Bench

Posted on January 16, 2020 by Paul

It seems like an age just talking about it, but this week Marcus, Reece and myself finally got a new bench in. A little bit of background – benches placed between this area and Berrybanks have suffered from vandalism, theft … Continue reading →
