we arrived at the wood faced with two piles of woodchip to spread with a mini group clearing mud off the recently flooded path.

Team Vicky, Neil and Debs tackled the smaller pile and make quick work before joining team bigger pile. Armed with lots of tools and wheelbarrows we got into a good rhythm and were a very efficient gang, accelerated by Leanne running all her barrow trips!

Whilst all this was happening Cara and Charlotte did a sterling jog of clearing the path.

All our efforts were rewarded with some of Jude's lovely cake!

An enjoyable morning had by all!
