Cotswold Wardens Tuesday Work Party

 No work - too hot!

 Todays work was on BY575 which is the early part of the Cotswold way going south from West End Lane. The team of John W, Mike, John B, Jeremy, Pat and Dave cleared about 500yds which was heavily overgrown.         

 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
