Not quite the size of the heap in the car park...but
still BIG...!
What is the collective noun for wheelbarrows..?
Perhaps a clutter...????
Mud, mud....glorious MUD.
Cleaning out the ditches to help the water run-off.
You have to admit, that looks a whole lot better.
This week, Team GG were working out at Golden Hill Fort, Freshwater. We have been here many, many, times in the past and have tackled a wide variety of jobs. As we are starting to approach the bird nesting season, it was decided that our energies should be focused on maintaining part of the extensive network of pathways that criss-cross this beautiful area. The first arrivals at the carpark were greeted with this sight...
Now...we know that Team GG like to take on a challenge but this seemed way too much even for us..! It turned out that the council were using contractors to repair some of the larger pathways and we were NOT expected to wheelbarrow this pile around..PHEW..😓. We were however directed to a pre-dumped pile of limestone chippings to the west of the area and were soon barrowing it along muddy pathways to repair the winter damage (see the video link below). Good progress was made and it was encouraging to hear the kind comments from many of the dog walkers that passed by.
The weather was considerate to us before tea break but it did turn a bit damp and mizzly later on.
Many thanks to Terry for his photographs this week.
And now for something new...
Bob The Blog has recently got his hands on an action camera and decided to "spice up" the blog with some video. Needless to say, it was NOT easy to edit and then attach video files to the blog page but here is the first attempt. If there are any computer experts out there who can show me a better way of doing it then please (PLEASE...!) tell me how 😊.
Hopefully, a fun bit of video. Click here to watch..!
