Lovely day visiting Moseley Old Hall near #Wolverhampton
Plus got to try the legendary #NationalTrust curried cauliflower pasty.
Popped into #Lichfield garden centre on the way back. Didn't buy any plants for a change.

Lovely to see our duck family enjoying Darnford Moors Ecology Park. This section has only been in water since 2023, yet it’s already flourishing. 🪶
Thanks to support from Biffa Award #theLCF this section of the canal has become a rich, thriving environment for wildlife. 🌿

Here's a sight you won't see every day!
Our 14-tonne excavator making its way under the liftbridge. Not something you see on your average canal towpath! 😄

The Green Team, led by Margaret with John, Jane and a dozen DofE volunteers, had a busy morning yesterday.
They made great progress bund weeding and tidying along Tamworth Road, clearing undergrowth and smartening up the whole stretch...

Did you know you can read all our workparty blogs on the website? They're full of technical detail and progress from the teams on the ground.
Members see them first (about a month early) in Cut Both Ways, complete with all the photos.
At Gallows Reach, as the inclement‑weather season draws near, the team is taking no chances - they’ve built another bund as a secondary line of defence at the second headwall.
Hopefully this means they can continue to cast concrete bases, without fear of flooding.

Great progress at Darnford Moors Ecolgy Park this week - they backfilled the towpath wall with concrete, and started filling the offside blocks too.
Brilliant teamwork!
