Jen and I met at Eton Wick Village Hall and made our way across the fields to meet Claire at The Swan Life centre, Googlemaps or (Jen) wanted to make sure I got my 10,000 steps in today and took us off on a route across the fields and under the viaduct and kept going (turn right here) until we got to where we needed to be. We met up with Claire who informed us that the other person helping out had to go so the three of us set off armed with a trolley of relevant tools and litter pickers along the slightly muddy public bridleway. We started with a bout of litter picking and then got to the section with all the brambles and overhanging branches that are a nuisance to path users, ie: cyclists and horse riders. Loppers and shears in hand we made short work of the trees and brambles and it was nice that we were thanked by a couple of walkers along the route. The last section we went back to a bit of litter picking and came a cross a cat box..or was it a lawnmower part, we really couldn't solve the mystery and Jen found herself a new pair of Joggers. Trolley loaded up we said our goodbyes to Claire who was ever grateful for our help and made our way back across the fields thankfully on a more direct route.
