A good turnout of regulars and wheelbarrows ensured that all the key tasks were completed in good time. The advertised “monster bonfire” was more of a controlled slow-burn due to some overnight dampness, but it achieved what was asked of it in the end. There was even time for a leisurely walk around the site, during which many insects were photographed for inclusion in a separate sightings post.
Many thanks to everyone who came to help.
