I forgot the time of my own task, so after filling the time with some hill reps (this saving everyone else from the peer pressure / FOMO) I arrived to find Claire, Alistair and Miki hard at work already. Our task was to weed an already mulched area, and clear grass and extensive weeds from the to-be-mulched rest, with cuttings being composted on site for Spring.

Jenna and David arrived shortly afterwards (David having done a tour of tree planting sites until he found us) and we got a big chunk done. Despite David not knowing his strength and almost immediately destroying a claw hammer with his 2-handed frenzy approach.

The lovely Claire had prepared us all sandwiches, sticky buns and coffee so we had a quick break as the sun finally arrived, then did a bit more work before heading off home.
