The Kinky King's Path

Four York GG-ers braved the increasing winds (and a bit of rain) to join Gordon back at the King's Path wildflower meadow. Our job today was to create a brand new path from a fence (where they hope to eventually put in a gate) across to the main path. We welcomed Estella to her very first GG task!

We laid out the planks of wood for the edging roughly 1 metre apart (or a shovel's width as we decided that would do!) and some speedy spade work ensued, creating narrow trenches for the edging planks. Once the planks were in position, the wood chip was wheelbarrowed down the path to create a nice, soft surface. We created a somewhat kinky-shaped path (or rustic as we at GG York like to say) up to the wood chip pile when we ran out of time. We will be back soon to finish off the last few metres of this new path so that it joins up to the main path.
