ACWA Working Party
On 19-Sep-2007 a Working Party installed two new gates on ACW 40-mile route at Barnacle.
 New Kissing Gate on north-west side of Shilton
Lane : 19-Sep-2007
September Achievements
On 19-Sep-2007 we replaced two stiles with
k/g ( GR 388 843 & GR 391 844) on either side of Shilton Lane,
near Barnacle Hall. Both of these are on ACW 40-mile route, and on Circular Walks 14 and 15. One is also on Circular Walks 13.
The weather forecast had been for increasing cloud and light
showers, after two weeks of glorious autumn sunshine. In the
event the only showers were just before 9:00 am and then after 2:00
pm. We had worked mostly in sunshine, and finished by
1:30pm. A satisfying day!

cancelled
The next session will be on:
|
Wednesday 21st Nov at 9:30 am to about 1:00

Meet at: |
Barnacle
Village Hall GR 388 847 - then most of us walk to sites |
| |
Task(s): |
Replace one stile with k/g,
and renew a long missing Waymark Post ( GR 387
845 & GR387 846) & replace a
second stile with k/g. and a
third stile with a p/g (GR 386
849) |
All above are on ACW 40-mile route, and on Circular Walks 14
and 15.
Our plans for future working parties are to continue to place
some effort in improving the remaining difficulties on the 40-mile
walk and other circular walks, but to give more priority to creating
further stile-free short (3 to 5 mile) circular walks. Work on
CWCW 17A started in February 2007, but will now not be complete
till 2008.
Dates for 2008 will probably be mostly on the third
Wednesday in each month from Jan-Nov. The provisional expected dates
are therefore:
- Wednesday 16 Jan
- Wednesday 20 Feb
- Wednesday 19 Mar
- Wednesday 16 Apr
- Wednesday 21 May
- Wednesday 18 Jun
- Wednesday 16 Jul
- Wednesday 20 Aug
- Wednesday 17 Sep
- Wednesday 15 Oct
- Wednesday 19 Nov
