A decent sized squad was called for, as we were hiring in a wood chipper and two operators and the response was amazing.
In total I think there were a dozen volunteers, too many to name them all, but a special welcome back to Jim Clark, who has got over his eye problems of recent and the Ellon Squad members that made it all the way from Ellon!
Once the Fire Service had been advised a good going fire was used (maybe this is Iain phoning them!) to get rid of the stuff that was unable to be chipped.
Trees were also felled by the Headshunt and logs given to a neighbour over the fence, in exchange for 7 cups of tea!
Amazingly the site was cleared by 2.30pm thanks to the tireless efforts of John Wood and the tremendous team work of the extended PWay Squad. Well done to all.
If you fancy doing similar site clearance work on the Grantown Extension then contact Andrew McCracken - as he is trying to organise dates in March.
Once again thanks to Mike Tough for info/photos.
