A complicated day with in effect 4 work parties!
JUMBLE HOLE
Rich and Dick worked from the top of Jumble Hole, cutting back fallen trees and repairing a stile.
Dave, Fred, Richard J worked from Cow Bridge, putting in marker post and cut back 6 fallen trees over the route.

Then we all met for lunch. After a very long discussion, Dave Richard J and Fred went back down Jumble Hole to waymark and widen the path in places.
HIPPINS
Dick, Gerald and Rich prepared the ground on the muddy path by Hippins. We took out the existing stepping stones, leveled the land in preparation for laying the new wider stones.
