IMPORTANT – Route F (Crammer Gutter) – Improvement Work 1st – 2nd Sep 2023
We are planning to start improvement work on the route from Crammer Gutter onto the common by the brook. It may be difficult to pass with a horse whilst we are working here so please avoid and pass this message on to anyone that uses this route regularly.
Will try to give updates on the website when we are working.
Fallen Tree – Route M Hill Houses
The fallen tree blocking the bridleway has now been cleared by Pete and Chris.
Route A – Hinton – Winterdyne
I have managed to cut back most of the overhanging branches and brambles. If anyone can spare some time some of the cuttings could do with clearing from the path where I ran out of time (won’t take long as most of the clearance is now done). It is a lovely route joining 2 very quiet lanes and well worthwhile keeping useable.
Work party 11 July 6pm – Hinton Route A
If not pouring with rain work party 6pm Tuesday 11th July to clear overhanging branches/brambles. I will be at Hardwick Forge end. Chris
Proposal for Work Party – Route A
Proposed work party to clear the Hinton – Winterdyne bridleway (route A) which has got badly overgrown.
John and Ted have used the mower but there are overhanging branches and brambles that need cutting back.
Proposed dates either Tuesday 11th July or Thursday 13th July early evening (6pm). Let us know if you can help on either of these days.
Reminder – Three Horseshoes, Wheathill, 6:46pm Thurs 13th April 2023
Meeting start at 6:45pm to review work done over the last 12 months and discuss activities for this year. This will be followed by the social meal (food orders should have already been sent to Yvonne).
We also need to look at the finances for the group. For information we have received an annual grant of £150 from the council to cover running costs for this year leaving us a balance of £726.22. From this we need to pay for digger and dumper work undertaken last year.
Note: Sorry if you have already received an email notification for this post. I have sent it again to all subscribers as it appears not everyone has received an email. I think that a setting had changed which meant only the first 30 subscribers were receiving emails! I have changed it now so hopefully all subscribers will receive emails for any new posts. Apologies if you have not been receiving email notifications and do let me know if you want to be removed as a subscriber.
