Gorse Clearance

Well I've been on the go all day. I left this morning before ten and met Craig and other volunteers at the Banks car park at Ballyholme, County Down.

There were about eighteen of us today. Our task was to clear an area of land near the coast at Ballymacormick of gorse.

We managed to clear a fair bit, though there remains quite a lot. We lit a bonfire and burned the branches of gorse that we'd cut.

The prospect from here, across Belfast Lough and beyond, is wonderful on a sunny day.
