Shiny new posts U and S installed, and EE extricated from vegetation. Photo is a carpet of crabapples.
A serious question
A pleasant day of joblets in Trafford – Princes Park Irlam, Sale Water Park, Longford Park. Photo is post K at Sale – which raises the serious question of what we should do about posts that disappear in balsam and brambles for half the year ? Moving the posts to somewhere veg-free probably reduces the orienteering challenge significantly, but leaving them there is pretty unkind to people trying to find them. Across all our parks, the issue of rampant vegetation seems to be getting worse almost everywhere.
New map for Silver Springs
New car parks have triggered a complete update of the Silver Springs map, and new homes for posts I and Q. Post B (photo) has also been moved away from brambles.
Moss Bank
A good Autumn day. Post L photo) and plaque I replaced. Everything painted and plaques added, so a very nice little park is now in perfect shape.
More maintenance
Shiny new Start/Finish for Woodbank Park (photo), and a tour of Bramhall Park assessing the damage from vegetation (brambles and balsam) and humans.
Jobs at Dukes Drive and Bruntwood Park
Three controls at Dukes Drive moved away from encroaching vegetation – new sites for W, V and N. Three controls at Bruntwood Park tidied up. A good day’s work.
Picture is Postwatcher John with the new V at Duke’s Drive.
