26/03/2025. Flax / Track Clearing. Trampers. Leader: Phil Keene.
A splendid day attracted 8 splendid machinists/trimmers/hackers/rakers or…….and we headed up on to Swampy.
Sarah opening the Rollinsons gate in world record time. The views of the world unfolded before us as we crested Swampy, ocean to mountains and a fair bit in between!
Maybe the day was too good to work…..but we parked up at the entrance to Upper Swinespur and we set about the many joys of flax/track clearing. We completed the full Upper Swinespur for the manual trim and about 200m of machining. Unfortunately the machines could not take the pressure so it was all hands to the deck trimming upper Porkies, about 40% complete.
Thanks everyone for a great day’s workout, and the ‘after match’ ice creams were so enjoyable!
