So would be the standard instruction at the barber's shop years ago and so it was over the weekend as the crew attacked the lineside vegetation at Llynclys. The rain feeds the growth and eventually it threatens to take over. A good haircut was the end result.
As mentioned before the aim is to push back the growth sympathetically to the boundaries, which also helps with maintaining the fences.
So keen were the volunteers that there were no before pictures. Norman took the following pictures of progress during the day.
The open views will be nicer for passengers and allow us to plan ahead for future work.
So let's run through a few pictures. We start with a conference to decide the next steps.
Never mind losing tools, from the vegetation we might have lost a few volunteers in the undergrowth, luckily the universal hailing message of 'Teassup' brought them running.
Looking better already.
The growth is now closer to the ground and renders visible stock for restoration.
Plenty of raw material to go at, both for vegetation clearance and restoration.
The weather was generally better than forecast with the odd dose of rain.
A view along the line to the South.
The boundaries are being worked on.
Gradually the boundaries are uncovered.
Look at all that open space!
There are plenty of ideas of what we can do here. Just hands and funds needed!
A very big thank you to all who participated and to Norman K for the pictures.
Next weekend will see further work. There is still time to join in!
Until next time.
