Eight of us met up at the Wizard car park before heading off to the rangers yard to collect tools. We were asked about our ability to use the winch to pull up rhody roots and all, but decided to start without it and review the situation at brewtime.
Thanks to Jenny for scouting out the worksite earlier in the week as I would definitely not have found it otherwise. It was near Holy Well:
I have to say this was one of the most challenging worksites I have worked at. It was steep and the rhody we were pulling up was in very wet boggy ground. Wellies would have been a good idea!
We observed the two minutes' silence for Rembrance Sunday, had brew and decided it wasn't a good idea to go and collect the winch.
Jean found the terrain hard, after hip replacement, so left and the rest tried as best we could to make some impression on the task given us. It became very drizzly and the weather was closing in making it even more slippery so we called it a day.
Thank you to my colleagues for their hard work in trying conditions.
Christine
