There were 17 of us today at Quarry Bank House! Several first timers and some others new to me but who'd been out with the group once or twice already.
We spent the morning and up to 2pm (when the heavy rain arrived) cutting down a hedge of sycamore and hawthorn trees that bordered the apple orchard at the top of the garden, and burning the debris. Alan (head gardener - who spoke at our AGM) said the aim is to restore the orchard. The few surviving apple trees were in need of a lot of pruning and there were big gaps where they'll need to plant more trees.
I missed this one - asleep at the wrong times. So thanks to Daniel for reporting back and to Tim for running the day.
