Work in the wood yard at Styal on 4th March 2018

Eight volunteers braved a day which started cold and with some snow still around from last week's 'Beast from the east' snowstorms.  We were working in the yard at Styal processing wood for firewood to be sold to the residents of the village.

To do this we worked with the wardens (one of whom, Alex Bond, used to be a member of MNTV) to split the wood using two tractor-mounted splitters.  The more energetic of us used axes.



At the end of the day we had reduced the pile of logs by a considerable amount and the pile of drying wood in the shed had increased greatly.
