ACWA Working Party
On 20-May-2009 a Working Party installed two new
kissing gates and a new signpost on Circular Walk 7, north of
Weston Lane, Bubbenhall.
 Second new k/g : 20-May-2009
May Achievements
The first new k/g is located where the path north leaves Weston Lane, Bubbenhall (GR 363 709). This replaced an extremely wobbly and hard to climb stile.

 Old WMP & Stile : 12-Feb-2008
|
|
 New WMP & First New k/g : 20-May-2009
|
The second k/g is located at the far side of
the first field to the north (GR 365 710), and although in fair
condition and easy to climb was nearly due for replacement.
The next two k/g heading north are both in poor condition and are
planned for replacement in June.
We only had a team of 4½
(one on light duties with a hurt back!) but weather dry & sunny all
morning and digging easier than usual so were
finished till 1:00pm. We then went for lunch at
the Malt Shovel, Bubbenhall, arriving in sunshine but leaving with
the arrival of the first heavy shower on cue as forecast.
We will return next month.
