Wednesday evenings activity wink

Tons of hedge pruning's left on the ground, two of our mates picked up as much as possible but it was getting dark & time was running out, I'm happy to return and lift some more if there is support for this?

Devon TRF has been in 'Rock lane' before, many moons ago cutting by hand, the lane is more overgrown now than what I seem to remember, higher hedges, narrower in the lane too hmm

This could do with another hair cut in the winter to make it wider, if there is an appetite for it & volunteers come forward smile

I've met the farmer & locals, chatted to them all, they are all happy smile

Great video Ian, and it shows just what an effort it takes to preserve our pastime.  Thanks to all involved.

Thanks Trevor for the support & reply mate smile

The locals were happy to, they let us park in their drive way, oh they said watch out for those scramble bikes, I said yeh we will wink

Farmer said we could park at there end if we wanted on their concrete yard, just knock on the door to let them know smile

'Rock lane' has changed it use to be open now the hedges are forming a tunnel, looks nice but its more volunteering to keep it free of foliage smile

Have Fun!
