Cotswold Wardens Tuesday Work Party

 Path clearance this week back in Broadway with Mike, Simon, John B, John W and Lawrence.  About 300yds of BY644 and 300yds of BY521 (paths behind the Sands and leading to Highworth) were cleared back with John B on Stella 2, John W on the hedge trimmer and Simon, Mike and Lawrence on brushcutters. A brief but torrential downpour part way through made sure we were all soaked. John W and Lawrence then went off to clear a hung tree near the top of Fish Hill on the Cotswold Way.         

  Nearly a full team out today (Jeremy, Vin, Mike, Simon, John R and John B plus me) for a quick trip to Saintbury to replace a hanging post on a kissing gate. The weather held off and we made quick work of the gate with the job finished by 11:30 despite significant debate over sequence and how to reposition the lock. A good result and the land owner seemed pleased despite the fact we had finished by the time she brought the cakes. Lawrence Before and after pictures
