Gate re-positioning at Timble due to erosion along Timble Gill & Dick’s Beck which involved moving the gate and posts, patching the fence, and realigning a footpath.
or Option B:
Tool time at the Barn which involved cleaning, sharpening, tidying, updating the tool inventory and marking up new tools.
In the event, 6 NCVs opted for both A and B. All were rewarded with both flapjack from Audrey and cake from James - thanks for this folks!!
A few photos of the 'Choose your own adventure' day.....
Team A
This is the stream that has caused the problem.
It looks very innocent at the moment.That there gate is gonna have t'go.
So it did!
And so did the nettles.
Ros and Anita made a start on taking down the fence.
NCVs are good at digging holes. Fortunately there
was no Toft Gate like bedrock to blast through!
Tom and Nick put the freshly dug
holes to good use.
Eventually - after a lot of hard work - the job was complete.
The team could stand back and admire their work....
....before setting off up the hill for home .
Team B
Yes - the barn certainly needed a tidy....
and fixed tools to his heart's content.
(which shows the tools belong to us)
and Terry made inroads into the heaps that needed shifting.

Ruth took on the tool inventory and
was soon wishing she hadn't.
Alistair was scratching his head over this contraption.
A prize for anyone who can explain what it does.
I think it's a tool for winding up the sun.
A place for everything and everything in its place.
That all looks a good deal tidier...
... and there's plenty of space to have a dance!!

And then - all of a sudden - the job was done.
What a difference a day makes!
A place for everything and everything in its place.

Woe betide anyone who doesn't put their tools back in the right place from now on!!
