Terry's Photographs.
This is the bit where Mark tells us NOT to let
the wind blow us over the cliff edge..!
Working along the banks of the stream.
The top of the cascade.
Always plenty of arisings to drag away.
Time for tea and talk of Xmas lunch..!
Cuttings from the cascade.
Raking up the grass.
and finally...a job well done 👏.
The start view from the top...
somewhere under there is a cascade..!!
Cutting down into the undergrowth.
Deeper and deeper.
A view from the bottom - job well done👏
The weather forecast for Wednesday morning didn't bode well.....
The email message from Mark, issued the night before, had these reassuring words...
"Flower's Brook is tomorrow's destination and a mixed bag is forecast I believe! Still...just think how invigorating it will be! 😉😋". Mark is definitely a 'glass half full' sort of person.
Although there was very heavy rain overnight (Tuesday into Wednesday) it did stay dry for our GG session and we all managed to avoid being blown over the edge of the cliff 👍. Our main task was to cut the summer growth from alongside the edges of the stream and the pond plus give the cascade area vegetation a serious trim. I think that Terry's excellent photos show the scope of the tasks undertaken during the session.
Mark did mention that next week we may be at a new venue in Whippingham or perhaps at Pan Meadows so please keep an eye on your email in tray for confirmation.

Thanks to all - a great job and much appreciated. Love the optimism regarding the weather forecast; it worked out well in the end and the mountaineers who tackled the cascade were particularly impressive!
