Wed 23rd Feb 2022 - Afton Marsh. Freshwater. GG # 873.

 Terry's Photographs.

This week we were back at a site we have worked on several times before but not recently... Afton Marsh. Where the footpath crosses Blackbridge Road there are a number of bamboo thickets and our job was to cut back as much as possible in the time we had. Any of the canes cut, if over 6' long, were put aside for use as garden canes and smaller pieces were saved for making bug hotels. Such was the density of some of these clumps of bamboo that it really was like hacking your way through the jungle. No Koala bears were spotted during the session. 😀 The weather was kind until after tea break when it started to mizzle (a word used by Carol Kirkwood, of BBC weather fame, to describe very fine rain)

Mark mentioned several possible venues for next week's GG, including the Riverside Centre at Newport. Best to check your email box closer to the time for confirmation.

Many thanks to Terry for taking the photographs this week.
