Ant colony on the move between Elm Road and Whitemoor...

This Sunday, the track clearing carried on where we left off last week. A fair bit was done in the morning by Brain and Kevin moving from Whitemoor towards Elm Road Crossing. The idea is, every week we start at the far south of the line and work our way towards Wisbech. By doing this every week, we can keep on top of the weeds as they begin to grow, then we do not end up having to go over old ground in mass vegetation clearances.
As you can see from last weeks photos, we continue to move towards the overgrown bit further up towards Elm Road.
During the lunch break, our chairman nearly jumped out his skin, when this little fella appeared from out the undergrowth. It is infact a tree stump, cut during an earlier clearance, which looks like a turtles head from the right angle. We did suggest maybe he should have gone to specsavers...
Then our vice chairman and Derek decided to upset a number of ant conolnies which had set up home under the grass and weeds along the line from Elm Road towards where the others are working.
When we said we would start at Whitmoor and work towards Wisbech, the Chairman took off to Wisbech down the line! We are actually moving back to the Crossing to do a quick job there.
A quick check to see how the fence is, and putting up a poster on the fence to let people know the crossing was improved by volunteer members of the Bramley Line.
There is never enough Staples to go round when you want them!. The gang are back out next Sunday from 9.30am again. If you want to get involved, let us know, e-mail bramley_line@yahoo.com.

ROADSHOWS are out the week, details to follow shortly...
