Written by Phill Stone

Started out as a typical Northern Slopes session, until I found out the incredible amount of litter that Jason and Emma had managed to pull out. I was stunned! gold stars all round for that awesome work.

Thanks for coming all!

Load of rubbish!

Saturday 7th September

Written by Bristol runner

What a load of rubbish, we said as we walked up the steps with our bin bags and litter pickers. This was today’s task on a surprisingly warm morning. There were no sheep but three bags full of rubbish were collected. After an hour we called time.

Until next time…

Mow with the flow

Saturday 13th July

Written by Phill Stone

Fresh sunny start to the weekend on our July visit to the slopes! We saw the return of Alex, who has helped out here many times in the past, and he brought additional help in the form of his partner,who's name I have shamefully forgotten(sorry!)

Usual tasks, but a change up on roles. I've done my knee in, so Janka stepped in and showed us real girl power with the scythe! She did a fantastic job keeping back the vegetation, while others managed to clears loads of litter from the area. I lopped the pathway through of overreaching brambles. Everything looks much nicer now.

Top work everyone! See you next time!

Shears to the Northern Slopes

Saturday 8th June

Written by Bristol runner

OVERGROWN!!!!!

The crazy mix of sunshine and showers lately has meant the Northern Slopes has become quite overgrown. This meant our job today involved a lot of snipping. Armed with shears and things that were almost shears we set to work. There was also the usual build up of cider cans and other paraphernalia that Emma set to work clearing with great gusto.

After an hour we called time and downed tools. Just time for a freddo or a rocky road before making our way. A lovely morning à la carte.

Until next time…
