Thursday Gang

It was back to the extension for the Thursday Gang to carry out more lineside clearance. 

On the open side of the track we have been pushing back the years of unchecked growth to the fence line and thanks to the cooperation with our neighbour we have been able to store and then incinerate the cut material.

Norman took the following pictures showing the now open aspect along the line between Black Meadow Crossing and the cattle creep.

We start looking generally south west with the line of poplar trees indicating the start of the gentle curve in to the station site at Weston.

Looking back towards Oswestry under a heavy sky you can see the now fully open aspect along the line.

Andy G was on duty at the bonfire and was joined by some friends, including a very friendly bullock. As well as keeping warm by the fire the smoke also keeps away the flies so the animals tend to gather and then get closer and closer.

Another good day by the volunteers, thanks to all who participated and to Norman K for the pictures.

Until next time.
