12th January 2016 ... weekly volunteers

present:

John, David a, David brown, Keith, Bernard, mike m, Neil, Alan and martin

activities:

- looked the ponies
- 2 gorse bonfires on boundary with foresters cottage, just below last week's fire, cutting and burning. some logs kept for firewood.
- John did some path clearing along the top where the forwarder had killed off the heather.
- did some drainage work around the stone pillars, where water has been flowing over the road, and probably down towards the tool store, making it very boggy. this included rerouting a flow of water coming down a ditch away from the path and towards the boundary with the cottages.  the two pipes leading to the trap on the north side of the road may need rodding at some future time

- observations:

- woodlands singing
- sunny weather for some of morning but still cold in a strong wind
