Footpath work at Thurstaston Common on 2nd September 2018

Today we started where other teams had left off laying a path through the woods.  The locals told us it is very muddy in the winter and they were really pleased that we were laying a path.  The local wildlife will also be pleased, when the dogs and humans stop tramping over the rest of the wood looking to stay out of the mud.

Phil, the NT Ranger, bought the tractor to carry all the wood, sand and stone to the site.  All the digging was done by hand so we were thankful that it was a nice sandy soil.


After a full day’s work we were only one set of boards away from the tree we had been working towards.  The group will be back again in October and it will be interesting to see how far other groups get in the meantime.

The team send thanks to Phil and all the locals who cheered us on and helped tramp down the gravel.
