It’s always a delight to re visit previous Paths Team works and today it was Roslin Glen and the board walks. They have fared well, only needing a spade to clear the edges and a ditching tool to clear a few sections.

A lovely October day out with chat from the sublime to the joyous.

For our September outing, we were joined by three members of the Esk Valley Trust as we tackled a variety of tasks in their extensive Hewan Woods located just south of Loanhead. Bracken needed cutting back, wooden steps weeding and some replacing, a drainage ditch across a path dug and a mass of knotweed clearing and information boards cleaning. Certainly a successful and fulfilling day out for all of us.

Despite the threat of rain showers, we stayed dry and had a successful session whilst enjoying good company and chat.

May's task was a 'path tidy' one along the Dean Wood Path which runs south of Cockpen bordering the Dalhousie Castle land.

Ranger Alan set us to work on a path through Roslin Glen County Park that had become a little unkempt. So steps, boardwalks and side foliage were all given a bit of a 'tidy and trim'. We enjoyed chatting to the many walkers and visitors as they pottered past as well as having lots of good 'in team' chat in rest breaks!
