The picture shows the final stretch of tree clearance over a tributary to the River Avon undertaken in October.  Our task was to clear about a one mile stretch of the trees that were obstructing the waterway.  It was wet underfoot and wetter outside, but it was a good job done and the waterway is now clear of vegetation for the next 20 years.   See also our post on willow pollarding, as part of the same project.

Patney is in the Vale of Pewsey about 4.5 miles south-east of Devizes.
