Tarn Shelf Gravel Return

 Saturday 18 March 2023

There were seven bags of gravel still to do on Tarn Shelf and we managed to spread four and a half of them.   At several of the spots some of the existing rocks were manoeuvred to either be edge rocks or to be placed as stepping stones.   It often brought about quite a transformation of track environment; we think much to the better, and hope that over time the degraded spots will recover.

There remains two and a half bags, so next time it should be a less energetic day and allow more time just to enjoy this wonderful place.

Fantastic work yet again! Thanks to all involved. I hate to think of the state of the tracks if the Friends of Mt Field weren't involved.

Cheers
