Added a handrail, replaced waymark post and improved steps by the sewage works near Cowbridge farm (TOD45). Interesting challenge but worth several hours of effort. Part of Cowbridge walk. The sewage ‘works’ collects the sewage from Toddington in the large visible tank and when the level reaches a trigger level it pumps the sewage to […]
Replaced three waymark posts at Lodge farm (TOD22/TOD25) and south of woodland on TOD25. Each was rotten and been replanted several times so were about half the normal height!

Dec 2019 Couple of sessions improving CHA25 beside the Chalgrave golf course to widen the usable width as the surface has been getting muddy. Nov 2019 Westoning WES15 and Harlington HAR2 over the river Flit is closed. The bridge has been found to be dangerous so has to be closed until it can be replaced.
