Ride clearance at Lower Woods, South Glos 15 October 2000 The first trip of the academic year saw an unprecedented level of interest, plus we were joined by volunteers from the Avon Wildlife Trust. We spent the day clearing the ride near the lodge, whilst midges spent the day attacking us. The new recruits are soon cheerfully slashing and burning along with the rest of us. Ed demonstrates the method of moving charcoal burners favoured by the HSE. Reserve warden Tom Dearnley encourages James to take a more cautious approach to felling an awkward branch. Lunch by the lodge. Beth and Hil, the resident BUCG cheerleaders! A whole bunch of irritating creatures got on everyone's nerves... (there were a few midges too.)
