Rich and Linda went to a lovely old paved sunken path that goes from Park Lane up to Daisy Bank. The path has multiple problems making it difficult to negotiate - two big drainage issues resulting in running water and mulch down the path, and encroaching trees and thorns.
Work today was funded by friends and family of Tim Mihailovik
The details
On arrival, we were greeted with a stream running down the path and several inches of mulch at the bottom entrance.

We discovered two of the original stone drains that had effectively disappeared. Both were dug out and . . . hooray! . . . the running water stopped!

We then had the task of clearing all the mulch off the path and cutting back encroaching holly, hawthorn and brambles.
