Clearing the ride towards Farringdon in the Southern parkland.

For week 2 we’re asked to continue the removal of Nitida along the ride as we did at the end of last week and shown in the first image below.

Almost all of the action will be cutting and dead-hedging. Please bring your best saw be it a Silky, a bow saw or a chainsaw. And appropriate PPE!

Convene as usual at the Park and Stride location at the end of the road by the old barn.

There was a large Nitida clump here.

Bob and Geoff cleared head-high nettles beyond the fallen tree.

Chawton ride cut back and trampled.

The end of the cleared ride, 500m away.

JohnR helped Jonny cut up the big fallen oak. Then dragged away with the tractor.
