Over the weekend attention was focused on Llynclys to remove excess vegetation and move stock around for better access.
Norman K lead the clearance team along with Mrs K, Miss B and Colin giving valuable assistance to push back a year of growth. Many thanks for performing this task.
As Norman was pretty busy with the tools Guy took some pictures. We start with Norman in mid strim taking down the level of scrub hoping to find a long lost Ivatt 2MT.
We did not find the loco but we did uncover future restoration projects for the C&W team. You can see the saplings that have grown up since the last time this area was cleared.
A theme throughout the day was the level of standing water. Recent rainfall still needs to soak away.
The team continued with cutting back the brambles.
The piles kept growing during the day and will be dried out and burnt later on.
Colin indicates how high up the brambles have grown along the hedgeline.
And then gets stuck in gathering up what has already been cut.
The mounds kept growing during the day.
The weather mostly held during the day allowing good progress to be made.
Although the conditions under foot made you glad to have remembered to wear wellies.
In the yard the loco Alun Evans was out on shunting duty to move stock around for ease of access and future restoration.
Rob and John were the crew.
Thanks to all who participated with the work at Llynclys. Norman thinks that another session will be needed to finish off so keep watching.
Until next time.
