Last Sunday's workday saw Peter and myself meet up at Stenwith milepost for the jobs in hand, some weeding and work on the bench and at the Stenwith tunnel. After a good hour we had soon had the brickwork clear of weeds, time then for a quick brew thanks to the Jetboil and after talking to a local couple (cyclists) who had recently joined the Newark group on one of there rides we then looked at coating the benches with Teak Oil, which certainly finished the bench after the recent reinstallation of wood by Barry Brooks on the tunnel bench.
When then had a good tail wind leisurely ride back to Grantham along NCN 15 with some rare sights of female anglers, new born swans and a couple of canoeists.
As you you'll know our next workday is next weekend on Sunday 31 May, where once again we will return west to the old rail path to have a look at the vegetation at the paths approach from Woolsthorpe Top Lock. Full details below.
Sunday 31 May 10:30- 12:30
Meet: NCN Millenium milepost/seating area, NCN 15, at Woolsthorpe Top Lock, Grantham Canal. See map here.
