Next task we will be continuing to cut back a path in the bramble at the western end of the site. This path was badly overgrown making access difficult last summer. As well as improving access, wider margins between the bramble patches will provide a fire break in the event of bramble fire. On Google Earth you can see this part of the common was very open in 1999, with just a few patches of bramble. Over the years these have grown and joined up. We should be burning up the bramble and having a fire.
