Work Party 17.2.15
With Gordon on board the good ship ‘Nellie’, and willing hands with grappling irons to support him on shore, we tackled a fallen tree (above left) north of Holly Street bridge, Pontardawe. By the time coffee break was called, we had reduced it to a few floating twigs (above right). These were removed post coffee and cake but I fear I was elsewhere by then……..

….capturing the litter booty that had been recovered from the winding hole area and,here, being bagged by John.
Yes, indeed, ‘Water Adds Value’ but as Confusius says, ‘Volunteers Maintain the Value of the Water’.
