Another
day at Hackfall!
17
Volunteers turned up including 3 Heritage Skills trainees and their tutors.
When
will we finish you may well ask – well, I think the honest answer will be
never. Still,
it is a great area to work in.
Some
teams worked on footpath repairs, others on removing brambles from the sides of
footpaths and a third group worked on clearing the scrub around the forty foot falls.

The photos below fill in the details.....
The NCVs pick up their loppers and head off from
the car park in three different teams.
One team starts on de-bramblification of the path
from the car park (a very prickly job).
Tom brings into play his super-hero special power -
a bionic arm that looks just like a mattock.
Job's finished - not a bramble in sight
and it's only lunchtime.

Meanwhile, down at the 40 foot falls, the vista line is cleared.
No nasty brambles to spoil the view.
Will makes himself comfortable at lunchtime,
in a chair from the latest range of IKEA seating.

After lunch Ed and Will, stationed up at the farm, get busy shovelling
gravel into the track barrow, whilst Terry acts as overseer.
The gravel is then transported by Paul,
at the breakneck speed of 1 mile an hour....
...to be dumped onto the muddy paths far below.
Anita and Sally create a good quality brash pile
from the scrub that accumulates below the 40 foot falls.
