The new year is here, the ‘party season’ is drawing to a close and it’s back to the grindstone for most of us.
I know what you’re thinking – you want some fresh air, the chance to shift the Christmas love handles and get dirty in the woods while doing something for the sport you love, but you’re stuck back in the classroom/office/workshop/studio.
Well, my friend, rejoice!
This Sunday is the next of the monthly trail care dig days, hosted by Hillbilly regulars Ian, John and Rich. It’s the same plan as usual – meet at 10am in Aston Hill carpark for a quick briefing before heading off into the woods to work up some magic. It’s going to be a full-on morning of getting your hands dirty, so come dressed to dig with warm clothes and gloves (protective footwear and eyewear is also advised).
Want to come along? Excellent! If it’s your first time (don’t be embarrassed – we were all there once) drop a line to gardeningwithoutthevegetables@rideastonhill.co.uk to let us know and we’ll be more than pleased to show you the ropes. There’ll even be tea and cake at the end (and some soup as well, to warm weary limbs)!
All riders intending to head over to ride Sunday, please be aware that there is digging going on and keep a look out for Hillbilly digging teams in their fluro vests. There should be minimal disruptions on all trails.
