Wed 5th Jan 2022 - Appley Park, Ryde. GG # 866.

 

Terry's Photographs.













Meeting up for the first GG session of 2022....


Due to the various road diversions around the Ryde area and Southern Water closing off the Esplanade (yet again!) it made getting to, and parking at, Appley Park somewhat difficult. With GGmers arriving from every directions on the compass we eventually got ourselves sorted and work underway. Last time we were here it was planting saplings but this time we were digging them up (NOT the same ones..!) An area that had previously planted has now been re-designated so the saplings were carefully lifted and stored ready for use elsewhere. The second task was to cut down the more established thicket to the east of the first area. Although it was much colder than of late (record high temperatures over the festive period) the sky was blue and the sun was out....what a perfect way to start a new working year 👍. This was a well attended session, perhaps everyone has made a New Year's resolution to come along to GG on a Wednesday 😀.

Here is a link to a site giving some of the background history to Appley Park... the-history-of-appley-park

Mark seems to think we may be working at another new venue next week, the churchyard in Lake. He will be releasing details closer to the day, which will include a map and parking details. We expect to be replanting the saplings that we lifted from Appley.

Many thanks to Terry for the photographs.
