Wed 26th June 2016 - Brading Down LNR. GG # 791.

Terry's Photographs. 

Site information for this GG session.


Guess who has the dog biscuits in their pocket..?


Off hunting the dreaded Ragwort.....


....and we found plenty.


By tea break the sun had broken through.


Some of the many "dump points" 
(to be collected at a later time).



And..after all that back breaking work...
ICE CREAM....! 


A Painted Lady....


and a Marbled White butterfly.

I am sure that anyone who was there, or anyone who reads this blog regularly, are well aware of what is involved when Team GG go pulling that pesky plant...Ragwort...so no explanation of the above is really needed. The session started under leaden skies but by tea break the sun was peeping through and it was a pleasant June day. Yes, PPP is not everyone's favourite exercise but the wonderful views from the Downs more than compensates for what is a rather mundane (but necessary!) task. The large number of filled black bags was testament to the amount of back breaking work put in by the team. This was a well attended session...must have been the good weather and amazing views that attracted everyone.

Many thanks to Terry for the photographs this week.
