Some Recent Changes

Give Way!
 Some new signage for the woodland, the mountain bike trail now has some proper signage so riders and walkers can get along incident free, hopefully. These signs really catch your attention among the mossy trees and ferns.








Free flowing
 The east side footpath after the two bridges has had a tough time lately, the drainage pipe became blocked, silted up and diverted water down the footpath causing quite a bit of damage. Now the pipe is unblocked and the small stream is flowing nicely in to the river Morlais. 





Squeeze through



Motor bikes are constantly causing damage to the woodland which we have to fix, Trials bikes are the most common and thanks to a few undaunted locals the woodland see's less of them. This is a squeeze gate, it's located downstream of the ramblers steps and is a bold statement that motor bikes are not allowed in the wood. It's made out of douglas fir from the wood and there's plenty of room for your dogs to pass underneath.




Blue bell site

The last working party in the woods was a dry one, we cleared three patches along the byway for the bluebells to flourish, picked a couple of bags of litter and unblocked two more drainage pipes. The snow drops are out along the river Morlais so the bluebells shouldn't be long now.
