Yesterday’s session at Crack Lane went well with five members of DIGS clearing vegetation improving access and working on the rock faces.

We also found a good number of common spotted orchids which seem to have benefitted from earlier work clearing bracken, gorse  and brambles. Unfortunately they had not reached flowering stage.

We had a successful morning at Crookhill Pit despite grotty weather.

Pictures are poor as a result. Thanks to Andy and Geof P and Alan for getting the job done – just clearing the paths so we can access the rock faces in the summer.

Good slip on the top of the pit on the south side due to moist weather we have been having.

We had a chilly session on Thursday working on the Rodwell Cutting. Only three pf us , but we made some progress.

More to do in the New Year!

Season’s Greetings and hope 2023 is good to you.
