First day of Spring at Kersal Moor
Maintenance joblets at Queens Park Bolton, Moss Bank and Kersal Moor, on a beautiful Spring day. Photo is Kersal Moor, where somebody’s been doing some extreme pruning.
Daisy Daisy
A very quiet playground at Daisy Nook. New post E installed – suspect the previous plaque was washed away in the floods.
Beat the brambles at Sale Water Park
Three controls – K L X – have been moved away from ever-expanding brambles. The old posts have been left in place, and will stay for a few months, so people with existing maps will still have a chance of finding their controls, but maps printed from the 25 Feb 2020 onwards will show new positions for these controls.
Underwater orienteering at Kersal Dale
Some rotten posts replaced and the missing U restored at Kersal Dale. You can see from the picture the after-effects of storms Chiara and Dennis.

New posts installed at O (missing) S (broken off and lying down) and X (rotten and loose). Also took a look round Kersal Dale to check options for restoration work there.
