Tonight we had a bumper turnout to help at the Kings wildflower meadow path.
A select group set off at party pace followed by the main group after naming and numbering off. We were also joined by a few cyclists and some folk joined us at the task.
We had a few unexpected late sign ups so we needed to split into two groups with one taking on the litter pick challenge and the other tackling dock leaves.
The litter pickers had a list of treasure to find in pairs with the tie breaker being a selfie. Mitch and Lyndsay were the only team to collect everything even though they had to climb over the fence to the beck!
Group dock leaves were introduced to a new tool - the lazy fox - which was used to slice dock leaves at their base.
Time quickly passed and we were back off to base via a few hill reps on little Hob Moor.
All our good work was rewarded with Rich's brownies, which were still warm!
The local residents would like to see this area improved to create a new wildflower meadow with some trees planted round the edges. There are residents who are happy to help look after the area but they would benefit from some help to get the area started.
