Well it was an all girls workday on Sunday 18th May at Speke Hall, in all my years vounteering I don't believe we have ever had this before.
Five of us spent the day in Stockton Wood (next to the car park). Ranger Ian explained that the wood can be quite waterlogged so drainage trenches had previously been created throughout various parts of the wood but over the years these have filled up with soil and leaves.
When we arrived at the site there was little evidence of a trench been there previously.
We split up into groups to work on the trench in stages so that we would eventually join up the line.
It was hard work digging the trench as tree roots were found in the soil.
After a back breaking day we eventually finished the trench.
At the end of the workday Ranger Ian took us down to the Hall for a tour around.
Despite it being hard work we all had a lovely day and enjoyed our tour of the Hall. We will be back again in June.
