Wed 9th Feb 2021 - Bouldnor Forest, Yarmouth. GG # 871.

 Terry's Photographs.

Poised and ready to roll...!

Cutting the bonfire area.

Gorse TREES...!

Tea break and a moment to take in the views.

Keep that fire burning...!

Just look at that sky.. not bad for February..!

It has been a while since GG visited this venue but, great to be back. The car park is down a long private track to the north of the main road but once you are out of the car and through the trees then the Solent from Yarmouth to Cowes is the panoramic view that greets you....truly stunning. Well, as nice as it is to look at the scenery, we were there to do a job and that was cutting down the gorse that grows so prolifically there. It was a little disappointing to see just how much has sprung up since our last visit but, in true Team GG spirit, we were soon cutting and burning across a wide area. Attendance was good and the weather was, once again, amazing for this time of year 👍. Excellent progress was made....just a few more acres to go...😏.

A Note From Mark.

I took a few snaps of the gorse as I was interested in discovering if we were handling two types. You can see the Gorse (furze) in the forgroundand Dwarf Gorse behind. The dwarf has smaller and more flexible spines.

I joked though that we were to think ourselves lucky getting free acupuncture whilst Green Gyming this week.

Many thanks to Terry for taking the photographs.

GG next week will be back at Haseley Manor, where we will continue with what we started a couple of weeks ago.
