Meets in the winter months, roughly October to March/April involve ‘furniture’ work–bridges, gates, stiles, waymarks, fallen trees (though these occur at any time of the year), steps and so on. Rest of the year is a mad rush to try to beat the growth of vegetation.  There are numerous gates and stiles to keep open, and around 10 miles of paths that require undergrowth clearance. The PONS are equipped with 4 or 5 brush cutters, four walk behind strimmers and all types of hand tools. Volunteers are supplied with protective gear such as gloves, hi-vis wear, goggles and ear protectors, and a subsidy towards steel toed boots.  County Council runs many different free, training courses.

We welcome new members to the team to achieve our mission to keep paths open for all to enjoy contact me on mervyn.hardwell@yahoo.com 0780 196 7913. We feel it is vital to preserve our historical Rights of Way on which you have as much right to be as on any public road.
