The new year got off to a good start on Sunday 12th March with a fine dry and sunny morning. Richard, Paul, Peter and Malcolm tackled a stile replacement on Footpath 13 between Primrose Cottage and the Wheatsheaf. This path has been neglected and will get attention in the early part of 2017.
The session started badly when we got stuck in the field approaching the job but an alternative route up the field proved more successful and we got the tools and material to the top. There was not much left of the old stile so we had to cut away the fencing and ivy to create a gap to work with. Hole digging was reasonably easy, good soil with few stones. The job progressed well although we had to replace quite a bit of fencing.
We were complete by midday so quick clear up and down to the Green Man for a swift beer.
