On 14th September 2026 we had the annual Trod maintenance day. The weather was kind.
We fielded a group of seven – more than in recent years – and cleared the whole of the lower section alongside the Scout Centre. Bob Slater and his team of volunteers worked on the upper section of the embankment itself: quite an achievement considering the height of the bracken this year. That’s clear now.
Ellie Leary, National Park, has offered Bob and his team another session in spring next year, plus a later second “bracken bashing.” That’s all very supportive.
I’ll make sure you are kept up to date with any developments,
with best wishes,
Grant
