Sunday 30th May

 

I spent a good three hours on the downs this morning. There wasn’t much litter to collect and nothing else untoward had been done to the gates. 

I spent the morning clearing the two paths that run along the length of the woods but also the paths at the west end of the downs that lead towards plum pudding (vicious rose growing over the path) and also the top of the path that leads back down the hill. 

 I also removed some of the small tree stumps that were trip hazards along the woodland paths.

 Some gates need attention. Ash from a fire has been reported on Plum Pudding.  Pippa Evans

When the sheep come back on the down please put notices on all gates leading to the compartment they are grazing in.
