It's been some time since our last visit and wow - what a sight! Pretty yellow weeds absolutely everywhere. It was a shame to remove them. They looked lovely all around the STEAM Museum and in the Traverser itself. According to the expert Kay, these weeds are in fact Ragwort and very harmful to horses. So beware horses - do not go near STEAM until GoodGym have done some weeding!

We managed to clear the entire area except for the section where the traverser sits. An excuse for a return visit in August perhaps?!

It was great to see so many GoodGym'ers this evening; lots of chatter and laughter - something we all need right now.

Hope to see you all again very soon. In the meantime thank you so much for your help in clearing the Traverser. It is very much appreciated by staff and visitors at the STEAM museum.
