WINTER - WORK GOES ON IN 2015

Our first scheduled group meet for 2015 took place on Sunday 25th January. 

With the earth hardened by frost, at least on the surface, the going was slightly less muddy than usual.

Some of the group are experts at removing trolleys from the river:

Here's an example of how to remove one in three easy steps.....

Step 1 - First locate the trolley in the fast flowing water and aim to

throw a line across the river to catch onto it.

Step 2 - If at first you don't succeed......approach from the opposite bank:

This worked, using two ropes and hooks, as the trolley was 

firmly embedded - not as easy as it looks.

Step 3 - Once the trolley is on the bank, extract the hooks,

which are actually small anchors.

First one retrieved, now where's the next one -

about half a mile away on the Arun....
