Workdays for May & June

Firstly many thanks again for another great turnout on the last workday, 27 April on the old rail path to open up the access point. Despite the threat of rain this didn't deter Peter and John joining me in making real improvement to the route and for the users off.

I was going to plan for the next day to be down Running Furrows Gate with us looking at the hedges and nettles which have recently put on growth, however in the last 2 weeks Barry and Marcus (Sustrans Maintenance) have done all that is required and done a great job too. I met them on the last visit, last Tuesday and thanked them, we also discussed the next visit for them in June/July which will see Barry and Marcus grass cutting NCN 15 from Muston- Woolsthorpe Top Lock.

Anyway I've put forward the following dates, a mix of week and weekend dates and job listings where confirmed, any unconfirmed I'll be in touch nearer the time. This will take us through to mid June where I think a few weeks break will be taken for us to enjoy the summer and I'm sure le tour de France. We'll return to workdays, etc from mid July.
