Clearing the overgrown flower meadow at The Greenway Orchard - Part 3 (after extra time...)

After a successful couple of visits to The Greenway Orchard (and the postponement of our last planned visit in late June due to the heatwave...), we shall be returning again on 28th July to take on even more of the overgrown undergrowth in the former flower meadow area of the Orchard, so that the volunteer team there can replant the meadow ready for the summer and beyond.

They are hugely appreciative of our efforts in taming (or trying to tame...) the bramble mountain that has confronted us on our last two visits, and it's likely to be more of the same, but we definitely know what to expect this time...although the recent dry spell means it will still require a good bit of effort to dig out the roots.

Please come prepared with long sleeves and trousers (of some sort) to protect against the brambles, thorns and other jabbing/grabbing green things that will be part of this evening's entertainment - gloves and equipment will be provided.

There'll be a run option (c2m/3.2km each way) starting at Freaks and Geeks (West Ham Lane), with bag drop available at the pub, meeting at 6.30pm, and returning back there afterwards - or alternatively you can meet us at the task.
