It's been another eventful year, but despite the grip of Covid the group has managed an impressive amount of Wednesdays out in the field. Given that we didn't start till April, 30 odd weeks is a pretty decent return.
The delayed start of the year was a bit strange, with us keeping two sites going at once, but at least we weren't slowly sinking into the mud of Fogfield this year, though I did managed to get the car stuck in the mud at Brookside. Thankfully there's the stile at Fogfield to finish off so we can sink into the mud together next year.
I'm sure we were all greatly saddened by the news that our long time host at Markenfield, Ian Curteis had died. It was always a pleasure to have his intermittent visits to the Park Pale. His fulsome and heartfelt praise of our work helped to make the effort seem worthwhile.
This year has also brought a veritable rush of new wallers to the group, I'm sorry that I haven't been around to meet them, but by the looks of what I've been posting on the blog it's been a great addition to the group, and thanks to you we've finally finished at Fellbeck (almost).
So I hope you all have a Great Christmas and a Splendid New Year.

P.S
Thanks to all the usual crew for your messages of support and concern. It's much appreciated. I hope to join you later on in the New Year (I'm not sure when yet, but I'll try to keep you posted)
