Gonna nip down the bottom end and try and cut a new quad trail in today. Found a place beside an animal hole (more like a cave the size of it) that looks water free and not too wide. Normally hidden in the reeds

Got the new walkway in after grabbing the pallet from the side entrance (where someone had re-appropriated it with the wheelbarrow body (just dumped the rubbish on the ground 
:togo
and had been using it to get in over the dyke)
and met 7 landys green laneing. One got stuck down the bit we don't go on and then sailed over the back road. Had a good chat. Nice lot. Ones from Doddington and into Bushy stuff so may be soon joining us as he can't find anywhere to hang the basher for a night out
Interesting tow rope. Low impact. Tow vehicle can get a run up and it stretches, absorbs the impact so it doesn't snap and then returns to normal. Looked like loads of double plaits from 10mmish rope that's them plaited together to make a rope about wrist thickness. Similar to what a ships tied up with
You can see the big hole (Badgers?) under my right armpit
Used the new shovel/pickaxe I made for the job from a split shovel
worked well on some of the roots.
The wheelie I did going through the dyke and up the other side was a goody. Shame no one was about to capture it
Covered it up a bit more with reeds and grass. Should look good when the grass regrows
The plastic pallets are still down the top end dyke

Bl**dy backs still bad after 3 weeks (pulled it again last Thursday after a trip up in the dark). Can't get my leg over the quad and finding it hard to stand up out of a chair. Got a stonker of a chesty cold as well (1/2 a bottle of brandy last night hasn't moved it)- Problem with brandy is I can't take my morphine
If I was a horse they would shoot me
Bushy on the back burner. I was hoping to get to Norwich next week as well.
Anyone tried the back door walk in yet? If you want to nip down and I can't get let me know your going so I can text Rob to let him know so he doesn't get the fuzz to chase you off

Kev ask your doctor to prescribe you fentanyl pain patches (72 hour ones) if you need something as good as the morphine with less side effects. Also for break through pain, ask for Fentanyl lozenges. Doctors tend not to prescribe them due to cost, but they are everything opium is without the increased tolerance. If you need anything doing, fetching or moving while your suffering with your back, just give me a PM I live in Cambridge Not far from Bar Hill.
