Clearing paths on Chipstead Downs

9/5/2019

Comments

 
On Thursday, no fewer than 11 of our volunteers were tasked with reducing the overgrowth on the path at the lower side of Hill Wood Field. This is right at the top end of the path that starts at Holly Lane car park.
Despite being rained on at intervals, we managed to clear a long section of the path on both sides, removing over-growing branches and scything and raking the verges. We'll be doing more of this work in due course. Taking this action now should keep the paths clear for the summer.  SCYTHING VIDEO HERE.

Note: if anyone would like to claim the trendy pair of glasses (slightly distressed, see pic) we found beside the path, please don't hesitate to write in.
