Despite the awful weather Five GGers were met by 5 Fishponds Friends to remove ground ivy and strip some trees of climbing ivy. Most of the work was ripping and rolling up ivy from the ground, revealing snowdrops bluebells and violets concealed underneath. Babs and Hannah developed a technique of rolling up the ivy like a blanket while the rest of us adopted an individual yanking and tugging technique with good effect. We filled 6 large bags but there’s still plenty more and enough for a Monday night group run if we can fit one on.
