Drainage work on Prescott to Detton Bridleway

On Sat 3rd November, John Sutton, Steve Jones, Cyril ??? and Pete Brown, met at Prescott to continue the drainage pipe on, up the hill from where the drainage work had already been done. That part of the bridleway has dried up well with the work that had been done previously. The section above has remained wet to the top of the hill. A trench with2 laterals  was dug by Steve with his mini digger and the drainage pipe laid with 2 dumper loads of gravel on top and 2 dumper loads of stone. Hopefully this will make this section as dry as the one below. This task took from 10:30 until it got dark, so thanks for the efforts of all involved. Also thanks to Steve and Cyril for use of the machines.
