Hedge cutting success!

A big thankyou to all those who braved the weather and turned out to face the impenetrable blackthorn, armed only with loppers, secateurs and saws. We had over a dozen volunteers and managed to cut the hedge right back to expose the drainage ditch which we dug out and got the water flowing down into the brook.

Unfortunately, the rain eventually beat our efforts at a fire, so there's a lot of hedge cuttings left on the site - to be burnt when it's a bit drier. As some bright-spark commented - it looks like we've just moved the hedge by a few metres!

With such hard workers and a lack of tea/cake breaks (due to the rain), we had finished the job by 1pm. Apologies to anyone who turned up after that, expecting to help.
