I was at the National Trust's Minnowburn property this morning. There were only five of us. The task today was to repair a tiny section of river-side bank at the River Lagan path-way, where a tree had fallen and caused erosion and subsidence.
We hammered two sturdy stakes in to ground; prepared the area with spades; inserted three long, sturdy planks one on top of the other; and filled in the section with stones and gravel.
Back at the warden's office, I was given a cotton-fleece type of black sweat-shirt, long-sleeve with the National Trust logo thereon.
We finished early today so, after lunch and a natter in the office, I departed.
