Saturday, the 18th December 2022: path clearing and litterpicking

Today the plan was to help David Preston to carry out further work on Adel Bog. Unfortunately, due to a puncture to his van tyre, he was unable to join us, and so, while two of us did some litterpicking, six of us did some path clearing.

The path we chose was the raised path which runs from Adel Pond, along the north side of Adel Bog, towards Stairfoot Lane.

The trees on each side of this path are mainly holly which were creating a dark canopy over the path. We removed a great deal of holly from above the path.

We used the offcuts to create some dead-hedging between the path and Adel Bog.

Another successful and enjoyable morning in the woods.

  1. I’ve heard the path to be part of pond mill sluice or iron age mound earthworks
