Going up

The little Land Rover that couldn't.

Up above West Slaithwaite today, planting 105 trees, and 250 hedge plants.

We were; myself, Dan, Cath, Jess, Tanya, Geoff, Philip B. plus friend Jon, Peter, Stephen, Matthew, Paul W., Dave, Paul, Alfie, Andy, and Ptol.

We had use of a Land Rover and trailer, which was nice. But it would have been even better if it had been able to go up the field as well as down.

Nobody knows why the Land Rover couldn't get back up the field.

Standing on the shoulders of giants (us, we are the giants)

New planting above and around our old planting at Butterley. I'd feel better about this if we had not been  stopped from doing it years ago, and are now contractors are getting paid to do it. Still, we did start the ball rolling.
