Gutters gulies, leaf mold and mud

6 volunteers turned out on the 20 April as Styal and spent the day clearing the gutters at the side of the Drive down to the Mill. With high visibility jackets we cleared the leaf mold, mud, and fallen sticks out of the gutters and from above the grates. We also cleared the sediment traps from under them. One passing toddler was fascinated by our mud - perhaps a potential recruit in 17 years time.

A number of members of the public stopped for a chat and gave a few words of encouragement or thanks. The days started damp but warmed up - time to get the shorts out?

More mud next Sunday even if it doesn't rain between now and then.
