Up Slaithwaite Gate, on a steeply sloping site. We were: Steve, Stephen, Ben, Philip, Matthew, Dianne, Philip, Jess, Dave, Tanya, Michael, Jack and Hap (plus myself for half the session, then retiring ill).

Planted 45 sessile oak, 30 downy birch and 45 hazel in the area to the left of the black polygon - and 195 hawthorn ,45 dog rose as hedge plants along the red line.

Nothing was planted inside the black polygon out of consideration to the neighbour above.

This morning we were up Wilberlee, Slaithwaite, planting a mixed hedgerow. 

We were a select but very effective few; myself,  Stephen, Dave, Cath, Jon, Jess, Dianne, and Matthew. 

We planted 225 hawthorn, 75 blackthorn and 15 each of dog rose, field maple, hazel and crab apple. 360 total.

Jess brought a very nice Christmas cake, and it was windy, but dry - the weather, not the cake!

I think I'll call it morning

Trying not to lose a tiny spindle amongst the bramble trash.

This morning we above Spring Head Lane, Marsden. 

We were; myself, Ben, Tania, Emily, Julia, Sam, Tol, Jack, Dianne, Philip, Geoff, Philip, Stephen, Jess, Paul, and Cath.

We planted 45 downy birch, 45 sessile oak, 30 hazel, 60 hawthorn, and 15 (for the official record) spindle.

Terrain was infernally brambly in parts, but a pleasant morning other wise.
