Another winter Sunday, another rhodybash. The weather was perfect for it - a good breeze and dry. We had been planning to meet Issy for the day but she couldn’t make it so Duty Ranger Alex kindly agreed to fit us into his busy schedule of feeding deer and general Mr FixIt.
Seven of us climbed back up the hill in Lantern Wood, saws and loppers in hand, ready to do battle with rhody. Overall I think we won the battle, although it’s hard to see from these before and after photos:

We got lots cut and managed to get lots burnt as well. From certain spots you can now see through the rhody to the top of the hill.
At the end of the day, with the fire burnt down, we put round the orange netting and walked back down the hill, tired but satisfied with a good day's work.
We met Ranger Alex and his tractor by the stables tool store and headed home.
