Salt Island gets a hair cut

[b0ogaloo]

The front of the bothy had become a bit overgrown with reeds, nettles, thistle and various other jaggy stingy things , I launched from Killyleagh on Friday afternoon into a complete B@st##d of a head wind and paddled over to the island ,
I  was amazed to find the table and benches I had built were still there ..

On Saturday morning after a good breakfast  I started work .... some before and after pics











raked it all up into piles and dumped it over the wall



Another job ticked off my to do list

Brilliant job, good to see you doing it old school but it looks tiring.

Ahh its not so bad .. secret is to sharpen the sickle every 10 mins or so ..  I could've done it a  lot quicker with a sythe ... but impossible to carry one over in the kayak

Hard work's never easy! A good job well done Andy. I wouldn't have the lower back for that.
