Wednesday 18th September
Report written by James Tilburn
Six of us returned to Danesmead Wood for some woodchip barrowing in the autumn sun.
With woodchip mounds at either end of the path we split into two teams. Team one was made up of the people who arrived on time and team two those of us who either couldn't find the meeting or misjudged the Wednesday night traffic. Jude from the friends of the wood was marshalling our work to ensure the woodchip lasted long enough for the whole path.
We made light work of the task, finishing just over the planned hour. New member Douglas was barrowing like a pro by the end of the task.
Sadly Jude had not had chance to make the usual traybake but she did provide us with some excellent rocky road from the local M&S so no one went away disappointed.
This is a small group of volunteers who try to mwke the wood a great place to use for everyone.
