MNTV rhodi-bashing at Lyme Park on Sunday 2nd Oct 2016

Beautiful sunshine again at Lyme, with a view over the Cheshire plain to the Welsh hills.
 
We were cutting and burning Rhododendron again, just below Paddock Cottage. This clump is nearly finished for cutting, but the rangers will have to keep the regrowth down for a couple of years yet. 
Getting to the site we went down Queen's drive, where Rhody has already been cleared and we could see that many of the new trees that MNTV have planted were doing well.
We were joined during the day by a couple of frogs and a mouse and the lunchtime entertainment included a conker fight which never reached a conclusion before work started up again.
