Gorse on the Moorland

As the snow and ice have cleared you can see the impact of all the weight on the trees and shrubs.  Here and there branches have been broken and out on the moorland the Gorse has been well and truly flattened.

This meant that today the ten volunteers who turned up worked out in the windy weather to clear a large area and have a bonfire.  The clouds were scudding across the sky at a fair pace but held off the rain so we could accomplish the task in hand.  Although it was a cold start to the day we were soon warmed through!
