Despite summer holidays the group continues with varying turnouts...
3/8/8 at Lyme Park, ten turned out and spent a day in sunshine and showers. The task was clearing, patching and top dressing a path through the edge of Pursefield wood, near Paddock Cottage.
10/8/8 on Kinder Scout, 8 volunteers turned out - we could have been nine but I ran out of room in my car for giving lifts! (there wasn't enough time to get someone else to collect half of my passengers). We had another August day of sunshine and showers in spectacular surroundings. About 6000 cotton grass plants went in leaving the local NT staff to do a few more this week - as the planned total for this summer is 150,000!
I'm still getting layers of in ground peat out of my hands - perhaps I should of worn gloves...
