First dismantle what's left of any old stile |

And put in the new stile as far
away from the tree as possible -- big tree means big roots means
hole digging problems -- trust me I know!!
|
|

Meanwhile Dave and Bob have a different problem.
Apparantely the farmer wants that prehistoric gate and we have to
take it back to his farm! |

First stile just about finished
by 11.30
|
|

And the other stile is also coming on well too |

There's an elephant down there somewhere (if you
understand that joke you have been on work parties!) |
|

Our chairman in typical pose. These
were stiles 4 and 5 -- and we still finished before 2.30 pm -- a
satisfying day's work |
Now
that we have finished Batcombe area we have moved onto Shepton Mallet.
Over the next 9 months or so we anticipate putting in about 100
stiles. We'll be opening up many paths that have been blocked for
years. Why not come to our Walking Festival on August Bank Holiday
2006 and see what's been achieved?
