Eight of us enjoyed a fabulously sunny day at Speke. We were pulling up Ragwort (a yellow-flowering plant which is toxic to livestock and also spreads profusely), snapping the stems to ensure that they didn't continue growing if they happened to re-root, and throwing them on the ground to dry and be mashed up when the field is next mowed.
We had almost cleared the field of all the Ragwort, when it was time to meet the warden as we'd agreed to be 'guinea-pigs' and try out the new maze on it's first day. We loved it!! - although the conifers need to grow a bit more to make it a bit harder, the high wooden bridges and wrought-iron gates (that can change position to give the maze a different layout) made it great fun to walk around. One of our Group sussed out the correct route pretty quickly, the rest of us had fun walking down many dead-ends!!
All in all it was a fun, sunny, day out:-)
