Wed 31st Oct 2012 - Fort Victoria, Yarmouth.
Mark's Photographs.
Carrie's Photographs.
This week we were back to one of our regular haunts, Fort Victoria Country Park, and it was a great relief to many of us that we couldn't see any barrows or limestone chippings! Our task this week was up at the viewpoint which looks out over the Solent; this area was cleared of sycamore and other trees about three years ago, but they have now grown so much that it is obscuring this fantastic view. So everyone grabbed saws and loppers and got stuck into removing all the trees and vegetation. Then they were all carried along to the fire, which Anita did very well to get going, given the damp conditions; however, it was soon burning merrily, and we managed to clear a really decent sized area. We were also fortunate with the rain, which very kindly held off until we had finished the session.
Many thanks to Carrie for both the editorial and her photographs this week and to Mark for the other photographs.
