Sevan and Steph Ducat completed a early mission at Pitshanger Park and went for a coffee in the sun before hitting the road to meet Richard from Ealing Greenwayers. The pair were joined by Penny at the meeting point. Richard and his crew set off with the Goodgymers to the woodlands below the bridge near the newest park in Ealing which was converted from a golf course : Pear Tree Park!! Debrief from Richard and was it Mission Impossible??We were looking at the woodlands and the intention was to create or restore a natural path towards the new park. The slashers would have to face the evil brambles, nettles and other nasty creatures that would discourage the volunteers to create the highway to Pear Tree park!! So we ended up slashing a way through the woodland, followed by some heavy shearing and raking. Sevan said to Steph that there was a spaghetti junction on our motorway!! The brambles, nettles and bindweed created twisty paths around the woodland items which were trapped and true it looked like long thin twisty spaghetti!! We also had some road blocages created by fallen trees and branches but this did not stop the highway contractors to finish a new natural path or motorway to the Pear Tree park.
