It was a long drive through the forest to our destination at Shortstanding Highmeadow. It was worth it though and our task was to clear the trees around a little pond and create a brush hedging.

As it was the 11th November, the whole team stood for 2 minutes silence at 11 o'clock to remember the fallen.

	Health and safety check at the start of the day!.
	This is the pond and foliage which we later removed.
	Neatly stacked hedging and we left a gap in it so that the boar and deer could get in to drink.
