Remember that path that we formed in the winter months? Well.... Yep.... Turns out those pesky nettles and brambles had completely taken over, the path was, well, de-pathed and now a miniscule deadly corridor with higher-than-human-height nettles for its walls. Enter at your own risk.

So we were tasked with reclaiming it back from the nettles and brambles, requiring sheers, loppers, and nerves of steel to brave the stings. Jane had us off to a headstart having joined the Friends of Ham Lands at their start time of 10am, whereas the rest of us rocked up at the GoodGym time of 11am. Inspired by the progress they'd already made, we continued the work and had a good old chinwag along the way.

We raked up the nettles and brambles and left a path fit for actually walking through again - good job team!
