The team have been tackling an overgrown embankment at Gotherington signal box this month.

Unfortunately subsequent events will make this beyond the running line so no one will see it.

This month's weather conditions have been excellent with many sunny days.

The first view on the right shows the south side of the line before we began but the main purpose was to clean out the fence line to enable a new stock proof fence to be erected to keep sheep in the field.

This involved removal of some fairly dense hawthorn bushes which had ruined what was left of the fence.

The embankment is pretty steep at this point and this made work rather more difficult although it was all completed in three Saturdays.

The second view shows the fence line completely clear ready for new fence to be erected.

If trains had been running to Cheltenham this would have made a great photo location.

The team have now moved back to Far Stanley to clear the north side fence line because the cattle are getting out on to the line. This location has an advantage of being next to a place where we have been allowed to park on a concrete yard with only a short walk to the work area.

The team meet every Saturday from 9.30am, throughout the year.
