Lifting 300 pound rails – in the rain!
On a very wet Monday October 13th, the gang – a combined one from the Wenhaston Environmental Volunteers and the Rolling Stock Group – worked manfully to sort and store the two tons of assorted rail that we bought from
The team strims and clears, but is totally defeated by a 6×3 fence post
Six regular volunteers – who like to think of themselves as the “core team” – spent another happy and productive day at Wenhaston on Wednesday. Jobs that have had to be put off, because of the birds’ nesting season, can
Undaunted by criticism, the team perseveres at Wenhaston – and the first SR Sponsored Walk is announced

Stumping, clearance and fence marking
Six Trust volunteers – including for the first time new team members Keith and Linda, enjoyed the ambience of the Wenhaston woodland today – and (I think) enjoyed the clearance as well. Our new volunteers are railway people, which always
The Trust, the Navy, the Army, and a Boundary
Another beautiful spring day – we do seem to be very lucky with this – perhaps to offset our frustration about the planning situation! On Wednesday April 30th, four volunteers – John, Bob, Toby and James – started with the
