Scrub bashing near Ropion

Clearing scrub and small trees on the slope by Ropion

 Well I'm afraid that the blog has been very quiet recently, but that doesn't mean that we've not been working hard!  Recently we have taken advantage of some drier weather to start clearing some of the scrub and small trees, particularly the dreaded acacia trees - perhaps the most unpleasantly spiky tree known to man, whose thorns seem to cut through even chainsaw gloves!  As you can see we now have some bonfire piles drying out ready for a drier weather and we have also been starting to clear more wood from various fallen trees and branches on the slope, ready to make into another wood pile in due course.
