Culvert clearance at Hare Hill on Sunday 22nd March 2015

12 of us (including a newbie) spent a wonderful spring day clearing a culvert at Hare Hill with the Sale and Altrincham volunteer group. 
We are told what the task for the day is!
We split into groups to clear the drains, transport the mud away, and clear the mud and grass that supposedly hid the stone culvert underneath.  While the Sale group started on some rhododendrons.

We had red velvet cupcakes at break and lounged in the sunshine.

After a few hours, countless wheelbarrow trips and a lot of hard work we unveiled the culvert.  Matt and Neil placed stones to re-pave areas that needed repair.  The whole team joined together to fetch stones, clear the last of the mud, and wash down the paving (with Neil attempting to wash down several of the group). 
The culvert is exposed:-)
We all joined together for a fabulous team photo showing what a great job we had done.
Thanks again to everyone for a brilliant workday.
