Pule Hill

A trip to Pule Hill to replace some failed trees for National Trust. 

We were; myself, Geoff, Dave, Philip, Stephen, Dan, Jon, Tess, Tanya, Ben, Jim, Peter, and Matthew.

I think we replaced over 200 trees.

Lovely weather, and that was nice because we were going for our Christmas drink after at the Sair, and it was good to be relatively clean and dry for that. Good beer, good company, and pasties from the Handmade Bakery in Slaithwaite.

All the lovely photos by Tanya, as usual.

Hades 2

Dreek!

All this rain does make for some nice colours.

Above Marsden again, planting another 150 horse friendly trees and shrubs.

We were myself, Dave (pictured), Cath, Tanya, Geoff, Jim, Dan, Adam, Dianne, Stephen, Hap, Matthew, Chayley, Jess, Paul,  Philip, and Ben. 

Hap and Cath brought chocolate cake and mince pies respectively. Both excellent.

Dave's new foul weather smock was admired.
