Wed 19th Feb 2020 - Afton Marsh LNR (South), Freshwater. GG # 821.

Terry's Photographs.













Bob's Photographs.

The start of a roaring fire.




According to Mark's notes for the day, Team GG has visited this venue some 22 times before - although not recently. Perhaps we could have chosen a better day for our triumphant return as it was raining for almost all the session ☂. Trying to keep the willow shrubs under control in this marsh is an ongoing battle and we were tasked to "process" some of the piles that had previously been cut and to remove a few more thickets that were in our way. Getting a bonfire going with damp material...in the rain... is something of a challenge but once it was finally established then we managed to clear a lot of material. Needless to say, working in a marsh with the amount of rainfall we have endured recently is rather difficult but everyone got back to the road safe and sound. Well done Team GG..!

Many thanks to Terry for taking the photographs this week.
