Alderley Edge 16th Sept

A good turnout of 11 MNTVers who joined with another 14 or so Sale and Congleton volunteers to clear vegetation along a boggy part of a path in Clockhouse Wood, Alderley Edge - felling and cutting back holly and other tree's to allow the light onto the path and help dry it out.

Some of us, using mattocks, created a number of gullys to divert the rainwater off to the side to stop it running down the path making it boggy.

During the afternoon some chickens from a nearby farm came and visited us!! Picture shows the chickens and, behind them, one of the gullys that we made.

At least the bad rainshower waited until we'd got home but, in some ways, it would have been good to see how well the gullys worked if it had rained while we were still there!!!

Two other views of the path - uphill into the area done on this day

and down hill into the area worked on previously
