Step maintenance - Thursday 17th June 2004

We spent the day cleaning the steps. Sorry Pam!
At the beginning of the day surrounded by Japanese Knotweed, Himalayan Balsam and all manner of native vegetation, it was hard to believe that we weren’t ‘down in the jungle’
It was like a jungle out there

Armed with loppers, secateurs and rakes we fought our way to the top of the steps.

Two and a quarter hours later we had worked our way back down to the bottom.

Leaving clear open space behind us.

The steps post cleanup
By lunch time we were all extremely wet and muddy but as we made our way back to the visitor’s centre we were feeling very satisfied that one more job had been crossed off the list.
