nice one keith
how are the paths looking

Subject: Re: penton hook tidy up sunday 5th june 2011 Wed Aug 17, 2011 7:36 am

paths are looking good, i go round with a par of big sissers and trim back any nettles/bramballs/other, so that people cam walk freely, allso went round all the internal paths and done them as well, they where all passible, the only thing that needs doing is the spanning river, lots of fish swimming around init, but heavily overgrown

ps

no tents or people living in middle of island

The spawning channel and other works will be in the late autumn when everything is dying back, nesting birds have flown etc. We will speak to the EA to agree what needs to be done, hope to get them done as a while back for the pics mate. Gonna keep us busy Smile

Subject: Re: penton hook tidy up sunday 5th june 2011 Fri Sep 16, 2011 12:25 pm

nice one keith,
from what i've seen on this forum your a bit of a one man band on that island of yours. maybe i can give you a hand one day.

Subject: Re: penton hook tidy up sunday 5th june 2011 Fri Sep 16, 2011 7:49 pm

been down their today, no rubbish to talk about, the EA ask John the lock keeper to see about the nets, but you cannnot get to them from the shore, you need a boat, plus they had gone,

cheers Colin for the help, any time wiil do, a par of garden shears is needed at the momment, the ones you have to get on your knees to cut the grass with, to cut back stinging nettles along the paths, so just gives us a bell
