Cotswold Wardens Tuesday Work Party

Two teams today: Team 1 (Jeremy, John W, Simon, John B, Pat and Dave) went back to Willersey to put in the second kissing gate on Willersey Hill fields. Clearly practice makes perfect as the gate was put in in record time despite the stoney ground. After pictures awaiting fence to marry up   Team 2 (team of 2) was Mike and Lawrence.  Two tasks: fitting a grid over a ditch in the run up to a field gate at Greystones Farm; the second was installing a way marker on HCC29 below the abbey fields in Chipping Camden.  Grid protection for ditch by gate Chipping Camden waymarker

 This week the team managed the installation of handrails and a new metal gate in Willersey on the Farncombe land in the next field along from the gate and KG we installed a few weeks ago.  Attendees were Mike, John B, John W, David and Pat Pictures as always from Mr Klaiber. Before picture (I hope)   After Picture

 No work lined up so no work party again this week

 No work lined up so no work party (Easter)

Interesting project to remove a ladder stile and replace with a traditional step stile on Seven Wells (HCC55) between Chipping Camden and Snowshill.  After some initial destructive work to get the old stile out and some hefty digging into stoney ground the job was completed by a small team of Mike, Vin, John W, John B, Pat, Dave and Lawrence.                       

5 this week with Mike, Vin, John B, Simon and Pat.  There were 5 marker posts to be planted on a cool and windy spring morning at Broad Camden on HCC23 and HCC27.  The team then moved on to discuss where the paths should have been at the Bakers Arms.               

After some design reviews two KGs were successfully installed at Farncombe on BY533.  7 in the team (Pat, John W, Simon, Jeremy, John B, Mike and Vin).
