Nine enthusiastic MNTVer's turned up at Hare Hill today ready for painting more tree guards.
John Mann, the lead Ranger at Hare Hill, met us in the car park and explained that we would be continuing the painting of tree guards, this time in North Park. The Rag Wort had already been pulled so it we just needed to wire brush and then paint as many tree guards as we could.
We really got stuck in and, after lemon drizzle for coffee break followed by more tree guard painting and a well deserved lunch break, by the end of the day 12 tree guards had been wire brushed but we only had enough of the water-based Cuprinol to paint 10 of them - shame!

John also entertained us telling us of how he was trying to make an orange wheel out of equipment he had on site because the Tour of Britain was going past Hare Hill on the Tuesday afternoon; we left him pondering what best to do.
