Care Needed At Stream Crossing

The heavy rain last Friday has washed away much of the stone crossing on the brook at Crammer Gutter between the SWT field and the common. It looks like it is  just passable by horse with care. This will require some attention to make it safe again.

Rode this route yesterday and it was OK as long as you are careful around the gate.

Improved latch and general update

Repair work was started earlier in the year on the route on the common previously dmaaged by tractors and it is much better. Some further repairs have been requested when things dry up again. The loggers now have a route through the wood so should no longer need to use the bridleway to extract timber. There is one very wet section 1/2 way up the common which idealy needs some drainage work.

The improved drainage (see post 30th sep 2011) is holding up very well but should still be avoided if possible when very wet conditions to avoid damaging it too much.

New easy lift catch added to gate at end of Crammer Gutter and hinges adjusted on a couple of gates to make them self close.
