Power rangers meet 'leisure' furlong

M&M unfazed by size of task

On full power helped by tractor
Not much 'leisure' down in Leasow Furlong where most of the work this week took place.  Mission was to make safe and prepare this area of Sherborne woodland for a local scout troop camping trip later on this month. Not much time so the full team,  {rangers Mike and Martin plus volunteers Simon and me}, combined to get it done. Armed with chainsaws, pole saw, strimmer and for extra power the tractor we set about clearing the numerous fallen larch, which were casualties of the April storms. Was worth the days effort spread over two days, extra revenue from the fallen larch and a good looking & safe area for the scout camp. With the sunshine we were blessed with, its safe to say we all would have enjoyed some  actual leisure time at this location. Lucky scouts!

which topping would u go for

As we finished early afternoon Martin and I shot over to Dovers Hill for a quick chat with the olimpicks organiser. Bit surprised by the local advertising displayed on the NT fence, although agreed with its message for careless dog owners.   Helpful discussion regards the installation of the 'Beacon' hopefully common sense will see this approved and in time for the start of the games scheduled for beginning of June. Completed the day with a visit to Littleworth wood where we made safe and cleared woodland paths blocked by fallen trees. Busy week, glad for the break before next weeks surprises. May even try out a pizza.
