Another Saturday and another wet weekend looming. I went for an early pitch inspection this morning and in footballing terms - it'll take a stud!
The Woodland Trail has turned into a Mudland Trail and is flooded beyond the depth of ordinary wellington boots - when we said there would be plenty of waders to see, we didn't intend that to be the rubberized variety.
The bridleway is only just passable but the linking meadow between the woodland and the canal is submerged again and could currently be used by the GB Synchronised Swimming Olympic Team.
I have yet to venture beyond the Canal View Point but I fear the Wetlands Trail is just that!
The Meadow Trail has yet to be inspected but I suspect our Old English Longhorn girls are developing webbed hooves!
Stand by for more news shortly.
See you on the reserves,
Best regards,
Chris Edwards
