Pecket Well - cutting back
Ray, Nick and Frank H, representing that well known cutting-back firm of 'Strimmer, Trimmer and Rake', attacked the badly overgrown path that leads down from Slack House Lane to Shaw Croft Hill.
Rain, sun, more sun then a little rain means that plant growth has been heroic.
This is actually a path but all you can find is grass, nettles, brambles, rosebay willowherb, thistles, hogweed, heather and a further selection of flora that we failed to identify.
Work in progress
Strimming (line strimmer - runs on two-stroke fuel) is followed by trimming (bladed trimmer - runs on 18 V battery) and raking (industrial rake - needs human power).
The fine start to the day didn't last. Light showers became heavier but thankfully, especially for the wielder of the metal rake, no thunderstorm!
