Wed 1st Nov 2023 - Golden Hill Fort, Freshwater. GG # 957.

 Terry's Photographs.



















Alison's Editorial.

Today we were at Golden Hill Fort, working with Gift to Nature.  We were asked to tidy up the willow maze and the concrete structures still visible on the site.  Some of the main structural branches in the willow maze had sprouted so these were trimmed and the areas around the bottom of the maze were weeded so that the shape was more sharply defined. 

The concrete structures on site are part of the military camp built in WWI.  The concrete we were asked to work on today was the base of the 'ablution shed' and still shows the position of the urinals.  A considerable amount of brambles and weeds were removed.

The recent weather has proved quite a problem over the past week or so - today we were fortunate to have sunshine, a light breeze and just a few very few small showers.


Many thanks to Alison for the editorial and to Terry for the photographs.
