Last outing this year. The usual suspects, laying the orchard hedge returning to the track. Thin pickings of elm suckers and thorn with few hazel stools. Mild with a slight easterly and low cloud. We worked through a short unforecasted shower, feeling all the better when it eased off. Repaired to The Waie Inn for a pint and chinwag and bounced off some ideas and thoughts. ................

We shall continue hedge-laying the final side of the orchard. If it is dry we may burn the brash from the previous session.
