Rocks off

 

A select team went back to Meal Hill to fill in some gaps. 240 plants. We were; myself, Matthew, Cath, Dianne, Philip H., Ben, Sam and Ptol, Jon, Tess, and Geoff.

It was hard work getting those rocks out/off, so...

She's gone

Back to Meal Hill, for possibly the final full session, though there are still gaps that need plugging.

We were; myself, Philip B., Tanya, Ben, Stephen, Geoff, Dave, Dan, Cath, Dianne, Philip H., Alastair, Hap, Peter, Jim, and Matthew,

Another 500 plants got done.

Come back soon!

Half way tree pressure

Dan leads the climb

In one sense this morning was less than optimal, in another it was glorious.

Ice and snow had us down to a team of 9, and it was a long slog up snowy fields to get where we needed to be, but we got 250 plants in, and the view (though very, very, bright) was stunning. All things considered, highly satisfactory.

We were; myself, Philip B., Dave, Geoff, Hap, Stephen, Paul, Alfie, and Dan.
