Any reports from the meeting? I took a wrong turn and ended up climbing at Burbage instead.

The chips were reet good.

I was well impressed by the SWT dude, very keen and sounds open to feedback and suggestions. They also sound like quite a people focussed organisation, so a thumbs up from me that they are running the Roaches estate.

That's great to hear.

Yes he was very personable and eager although his assitant was a woman of few (no) words. He canvassed o[inion on  the removal of the lower tier Rhododendron and was anxious that nobody would be upset about the nesting signs placed at the top of Hen Cloud.
