Tuesday 16th June

A team of seven were present and correct (well almost!) for the evening's activities. A Stoneblower from Network Rail was operating on the Ropley to Alresford section, which meant that occupation of the line was restricted to between Alton and Ropley, but that didn't affect the work in hand. 

With the use of both Wickham Trolleys, John, Martin R, Martin W, and Ian J headed off  in Wickham 1 westwards to finish strimming around the lineside furniture from Bowers Grove Lane to M&FM, and they also managed to collect two loads of brash from Soak Cutting, depositing it at the bonfire site at Brick Kiln Lane on the Alton section.

Iain, Keith H, and Adrian C meanwhile set off up the line in Wickham 2 to Alton Station, before working back up the hill strimming around the lineside furniture. They had reached Brick Kiln Lane bridge when time was called, following Wickham 1 back to M&FM at the end of a very productive evening.
