Current Weather at Strickley

They must be keen

Today Friends of the Lake District are holding their annual Hedge Laying Competition at Strickley. As you know the weather this week has been wet and windy, and the hedge to be hedged is not next to the road. It's at the bottom of Brant Strickley, so all the equipment has been taken their by bike and trailer, and the mobile toilet by tractor and trailer.

If it had been a better day , I might have been their with my camera and camcorder - but I 'm a fair-weather film maker. So, if you drive along the B6254 today and wonder what all the cars are parked on the roadside, you now know. I think there are about 30 competitors, and as I said, they must be keen.
