This time we’ll be slightly further west, approaching the cutting and the bridge over Hornthwaite Hill Road, continuing to remove overhead branches and some vegetation to lighten the area.

Date: Wednesday 1st November

Time: 10am – 4pm

Location: Hornthwaite – a short mile from the show ground travelling towards Dunford Bridge. Click here for a map of the worksite and meeting point
