This week we saw 10 brave faces clad themselves up in waterproofs for a drizzly trip to the Northern slopes.

Back from a long respite, Goodgym legend Paul returned to the fold to donate his birthday morning to the cause, joining Matt with bramble lopping on the east side. Mirroring their efforts on the west side, we had Nathalie and Julie lop up the pathways from the encroaching bushes.

We had a couple of fresh faces join us too, as Alex and Abigail got stuck right in with the very important task of keeping on top of our previous clearing in the center.

Down at the bottom Sarah, Nathaniel and I swung our scythes around against the overgrowth, whilst Katie loped out a lovely little cove for herself. We're getting closer and closer to opening up the whole patch for wildflowers, and soon the brambles will be but a distant memory!

Thanks all for coming along despite the weather, and extra special thanks to the birthday boy! Have a good one mate!
