Lower Field gets another Survey

Survey work in the fenced off area on a frosty morning

Following the emergence of a depression in the Lower Field, and its further subsidence, survey work was started on the 20th January. The ground features in this area, once a rubbish tip, were extensively explored some two years ago.

Top (southern) end of Lower field taped off

The field is extremely popular with dog walkers who are now confined by a taped off area to a strip of land on two sides of the field (see notice), well separated from the area where work is going on.

The original area proved very interesting to dogs a few weeks ago – one wonders whether they could smell something that we cannot.

Note 21 Jan: Outer taped area now open again

Storm Ciara takes its Toll

This large tree fell on a path during Storm Ciara on Sunday, February 9th. The path is the second on the right after entering Spinney Lane (see arrow on map alongside) and it is blocking the path, unless you are really determined to get through!  Now cleared! It was on the big side for the Friends to clear, so the Council has been informed. No doubt they have plenty of debris to clear – hopefully they will be able to get to it soon.

More substantial trees have since fallen as shown below:
