Hedgelaying with the Friends of the Bowdon Bollin

December 9, 2013 by Julian

Yesterday members of SACV were out with the Friends of the Bowdon Bollin to continue with the laying of a hedge along the riverbank path which we started last year.  It was quite a tricky hedge, with a lot of mature growth and some thick trunks to contend with!  But we had a perfect bright winter day for the work and ended in the late afternoon dusk with a good stretch of hedge satisfactorily completed.  There is more to be done along the same part of the riverbank – so perhaps we’ll be back early next year.

This was SACV’s last event of the year, and so we finished off afterwards in the customary manner – with a get-together for mince pies, mulled wine and roasted chestnuts at Elaine’s!
