This is part of footpath Urmston 17 in Flixton which is amongst woodland in the Meadows area near Uplands Rd.   Today's group tackled  what initially looked like the impossible.  However, the path
is walked in winter when vegetation dies back so once we started to uncover the track, clearing
became a bit easier.  Our morning was made all the more enjoyable by two local residents who came to find out what we were doing.  We had a very informative mini  “tutorial” from a man who is a local expert in moths and he let us see his previous night’s collection before releasing them into the woodland. Then a little later, we were treated to glasses of ice cold juice by another resident who realised what hot work it was as the temperature rose to 24 degrees C and we are wearing our personal protective long sleeves and trousers and hi-vis tabards.
