Wed 21st July 2021 - Brading Downs. GG # 844.


 This is where we held our session this week....




Wonderful views across the Island....


until you start to see just how much ragwort needs pulling πŸ˜’.


It has certainly grown since we were here just a few weeks ago..!


After just ONE hour we had pulled this much.

Before we had even started this week's session we had a problem..


Just the small matter of the first ever amber extreme heat warning issued by the meteorological office. In light of this, Mark decided that we should start at 9 am and finish early... thereby avoiding work during the hottest part of the day πŸ‘. After a bit of a mix-up over which car park we were meeting at πŸ˜‚ we were soon tackling the copious clumps of ragwort whilst making sure we had frequent breaks to top up our fluid levels. The photo of the well filled trailer above shows just how much we managed in just the first hour, well done everyone who braved the heat to attend. Although I had to leave early, I do believe that a GG Team outing was arranged to have ice creams from the near-by vendor πŸ˜€πŸ‘.
