BURLEES LANE

Team 3 and feeling like early Spring at last.

Kate, Stella, Dick, Gerald and Stuart improved a narrow, subsiding path running SW from Burlees Lane.  Kate and Stella put in three steps to improve the access from Burlees Lane, Dick and Stuart widened the path in places and supported the crumbling edge with 3 lengths of revetment, Gerald widened lower sections and pruned back the oak, hawthorn and holly which were making passage difficult.
A scramble to get on or off the path....
....now remedied

Narrow and tight...

....now wider, flat and firm underfoot

More revetment in progress...

........

....and the finished job...

......much easier to walk

Clearing holly which had almost blocked the path.....

....and had made climbing this stile a prickly ordeal
