Leat Restoration with the DPA (5.11.11)

Seeing it was Bonfire Night, we thought we would have some themed 'firework' fairy cakes.... with tea, of course

Not forgetting the important H&S and tools talk before we start working...

Cutting and sorting the vegetation encroaching on the leat:

The 'Yellow Brain' fungus is spotted amongst the gorse...

We stop for a well deserved luch break :D

Then just a little bit more work and all of a sudden...it appears!! There it is! The Leat!!!
