Despite being a very busy time of year so close to Christmas, 8 people were mustered on Saturday morning to do further work on the Blackthorn and brambles round the old beehive loop. First an area was cleared under the large Sycamore tree to make space for the cut vegetation to be stored. Then the approach paths received attention. Here are a few photos from the morning:
