Wednesday 23rd October 2024 - Fort Victoria, Yarmouth GG #1004

 Terry's photos














This week we were in West Wight at Fort Victoria, working with the Park Ranger, Anita, to make small improvements.  Firstly, a small pile of limestone chippings was laid to improve the surface of a pathway.  We then cleared an area which had previously been used as a turning/parking area for vehicles.  This had become overgrown and once cleared our van was then parked onto it and off the main track.  We then moved further along the track to the viewpoint overlooking the Solent.  Again, we cleared undergrowth to help improve the view when seated on the benches.  We also worked on the upper part of the viewpoint and further along the path at the back.  It was a beautiful day and the view was stunning.

The downside to the session was the mosquitoes.  Loads of them!! We were all surrounded by a cloud of them and most of us sustained many bites despite spraying ourselves liberally with bug repellent.
