High fives for the great group who got up early on Sunday for some sociable hedge trimming.

Our job was to cut back overgrowth to improve visibility from marshal points 2 to 4 at junior parkrun. When we started it was more a case of visibili-tree than visibility.

Kudos to Liv for running 7miles to the task and still having energy to marshal at parkrun afterwards.

Phil and Sheila made an early start to look out for nesting birds and focussed on the Eastern end of the path.

On the Western front we took turns standing in the marshal spots to help us find the right bits to cut back.

We made great progress but concluded at the end that perfect line of sight is not possible without digging up some of the trees and hedges completely.

Marshals at point 4 will need to take a couple of steps back to wave at their buddies at point 3.

That's fewer steps than they would have needed last week though!
