Wednesday 10th June

 Very quiet today with just one jogger. No litter! The willow tree branches are still in situ by the gate into No Man's Land but then it hasn't been the weather for much swimming recently!

After the rain . . .

 More water in the channels. We've had 6 days worth of rain since yesterday. Little movement, little litter. Spotted the ponies across the water. Moved a few branches that were low enough to be a nuisance. There's a willow from fishing lakes across the main channel and noted the work by the rails to Nomansland.

Friday 5th June Staff Update

All paths cut over the month, hopefully our summer warden Charlotte can keep them down with the strimmer now. 

Swimming activity logged by the rails of SPM and no mans land. Ash tree lopped to remove climbing potential, brash used along bank to reduce access, then trees pleached within and on top to create a living boundary. We will see how long it lasts! Fingers crossed. 

Thanks all,

Sam

Sunday 7th June

Festival in the park.  Few people about; had a chat with a couple of runners.

Thursday 4th June

Cut short this morning and didn’t check the glade/Durngate bench. Top end fine, chatted to a couple of appreciative visitors. The festival fence was open at the bridge so still possible to cross the field as long as someone is working on tents etc.

Wednesday 3rd June CHILLI FESTIVAL

 Weekend volunteers please note the Chilli Festival is back in the park! Railings and temporary loos being put in this morning. Will have to walk all round the fencing if approaching from the park. 

Didn't meet anyone - not surprising as wet and windy!

Lone female mallard on the pomd along with a McDonalds drink cup - retrieved the latter.

Cooler

 Fairly quiet. 2 runners, 2 walkers and swan family. Some darters and demoiselles, 3 tits, blackcap plus the usual. Nice to see the rail replaced. I put the original in 2009
