The rain didn't put off 3 intrepid GoodGymmers keen to progress the building of a dry hedge at Ray Mill Island. Sheila and Rachel were in charge of selecting and cutting branches so they were suitable for packing into the body of the hedge. Mick cut the branches suitable for use as the vertical stakes , fashioning pointed ends with a slightly blunt axe. He hammered them into position, giving the hedge a very pleasing curve. The hedge was packed with branches and secured with long flexible binding branches. We were pleased with our work and made our way home to dry out and have a well-earned cup of tea
