Wigpool GWT Nature Reserve

Grid Ref SO652195

 

Storm Diane is on it's way and it was very wet, windy and cold so we got started to warm ourselves up! We continued to clear the birch along the bottom edge of the site and it is looking much more open now.



The first fire of the day.

Some of the team bring old paper and kindling wood with them every week so it takes no time at all to get a fire going even though everything in the forest is soaking!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once a fire is started and is hot enough, there is no problem getting a good blaze going.

 

 

 

 

Across the area the birch has disappeared and it is really murky in the dull weather.
