Saturday 16th August

What a wonderful day for a rideb and a planting. Bugs, Dozer and Silverfox met at mine and we headed over to collect Phatboy and Mellonfarmer at Brittan St. We  then followed Mellonfarmer across empty sections in the Red Zone until we got to the Avon River.  From here we kept up a steady pace along the stopbanks all the way to Bridge St.  Saw some interesting sites along the way.  Bexley Wetland was a little sad as a lot of our previous planting is under the stop banks or water.  We headed through the South Brighton Domain Track towards the boardwaly only to discover this is munted big time.  A lttle detour and then along Rockinghorse to the planting at Southshore Spit Reserve.  Helped plant 1200+ plants before heading home.  We reversed down Rockinghorse Rd and through the domain to Bridge St/Dyers Rd.  Bugs headed down Dyers towards home while the rest of us headed down Breezes turning left onto Maces excepth Phatboy who continued down Breezes.  Pumped along here and Mellonfarmer continued straight while the rest of us headed into Ruru and through the cemetry and towards the Crematorium,  From here a short pump down Radley and back to mine where Dozer and Silverfox continued on home.
