  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.

9 of us (Vin, Mike, Jeremy, John B, John R, Simon, Dave, Pat, me) joined by Cerian from the land owners and CNL Glorious Grasslands to put in a permissive path above the church at Saintbury. Great pics from Mike and a good result for a previously steep PROW.  This was followed by a "team meeting" back in Broadway.

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.

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
