Caroline says “clear along the embankment
while we can clearly see what can be hacked and peeled off.
I am hoping to have permission to coppice the bay tree by then as well
which will warm everyone up no-end.
Mulled wine if we get that one done”.
I realize this wasn’t in the last programme
but it’s one of those pleas as the prospect of re-opening looms.

Another go at another slope!! Still lots of clearing in this area,
with a bonfire to warm up a frosty day. Lets hope it’s stopped raining.

A special one sneaked in, as the trees over the drive
have to be trimmed before the season opens.
This may be your first time to show off

A joint day with FODD on the North Scarp slope.
Lots of bonfires as usual, but lets hope not quite as steep as last time.
Otherwise the group will have to invest
in climbing gear and an oxygen cylinder.

Countisbury, Devon
Our bi-annual holiday strikes again.
Please send full payment of £60.00 to cover 3 nights rent
(4 nights free for working 3 days) and a share of the food.
Supplementary food costs will be shared during the week.
Jonathon says, “We will hopefully be doing some coast path repair.
Resurfacing, possible renewing some steps
and redoing a little bit of fence line
and replacing a stile with a bridle gate at a place called Bennets Mouth
which is a lovely secluded little cove near Bull Point”
I have some volunteers to help with food but if you have a specialty dish for one evening
please let me know and we will add it to the virtual menu!
