22th November 2016 ... weekly volunteers

Present:

John, Jonathan, Keith, Pat, Stuart, Neil, Mike m, Mike p, David a, Ian, Graeme, and Martin

Activities:

- cut and split load of firewood, brought more into shed
- looked ponies and checked reserve for any storm damage
- redug the diagonal trenches on the m1 for draining running water off the track, this reducing erosion and mud
- investigated the parallel ditches in the wood north east of the trough, and their flow of water. Changed the flow to increase the time the water takes to get into the steam, basically flooding the area of land towards the sphagnum Heath
- John did some gorse work along the road
- some bramble and Holly work done in the wood alongside the shed

Observations:

- noted the group photo on the swt Facebook page
- brambling, crossbill, Raven
- weather very windy, and bonfires impossible, lots of rain.
