Balsam Bashing in Acaster Malbis

We've been asked by the parish council in Acaster Malbis to help with their Balsam Bashing session. This is where they've told us to be:

"We will be pulling the balsam on the riverside path on the Church Ings side of the village.
You can get to the area via the riverside path from Bishopthorpe, there are a couple of stiles on the route. If coming via Acaster Lane you would turn left on to the riverside path at Chestnut Farm Holiday Park and make your way up the river side path heading back towards Bishopthorpe. Hope the info helps. The general area using What Three Words is: ///pedicure.coasting.compress "

The task starts at 10 so there should be plenty of time to cycle down after parkrun on the Knavesmire. Don't forget to bring your gloves & probably a good idea to either wear some bug spray or long sleeves/legs. There may also be other itchy/scratchy stuff around such as nettles & thistles. But don't let that put you off as there'll be plenty of good chat & laughter.
