Salt Island clean up July 2012

Hi

The damage and rubbish  was nowhere near as bad as it was last year ... so maybe the message is getting through slowly . People seem to think that aluminium burns ...  it doesnt... well it does if you powder it and mix it with rust Al2O3(s) + 2Fe(s) . but i dont think theres much need for thermite welding on Salt island

If all goes to plan I'll be out there from Fri-Fri doing a bit more work and a bit of r&r

Wee Gaz: I'm glad someone agrees with me sometimes!

What would the fishing be like out there? Would be class if you could get a few mackerel or pollack and bbq them. Purely academic question as I don't have a canoe/boat.

Also what are the woods like? Natural and/or broadleaved or conifer plantation?

Excellent work.

Karma well justified.

Mackerel and sea trout ,,, the lough was decimated by  trawlers dredging the bottom , and even now after a twenty odd year ban on commercial fishing with nets  much of the lough still resembles a lunar landscape

The forest is a mix of broadleaved and coniferous trees,  its only a few acres  , there is talk of planting more trees  and coppicing in the future
