Fencing and Thistles at Lyme


10 turned out to Lyme Park (2 of whome were dads) and we worked with Chris the assistant head warden taking down a section of barbed wire cattle fence and re-placing with new posts & wire. Working in small sections to avoid the cattle escaping. Tony used the a mechanical post driver to put in the posts which saved a lot of effort.

As there were too many of us to keep busy on the fencing, some of us dug out thistles, which is a hard task, where the turf is dense it is difficult to get the spade in!
