This weeks report title is in honour of our friend Neil from Bexley group who ran all the way from that side of town. A long winding road doesn’t even do it justice - 18 miles to get to the Edible Forest.

Then a bit more leg work scaling ladders high into the heady heights of plum trees to cut off all the dead wood to let more light in for future growth.

We also chopped a useless cherry tree down that was about to fall across the gangway.

Congrats Neil and we hope you enjoyed your train ride home with some forest fruit to graze on. And are not to ‘saw’ tomorrow.

Thanks to Ben and Brian for hosting us. See you in 2 weeks.
