Want to have a go at some hedging? Keen for a bit of help hedging -provisional dates 28th Sept for a couple weeks in Lanner, though there's some flexibility. May lead onto more projects, always plenty of work. No experience required, full training and tools provided- just keenness to get stuck in, though would be a great opportunity for a newer hedger on the Guild of Cornish Hedging Program/ Lantra/ Crest courses.

Apologies to all our clients, I've ruptured my achilles, so I'm personally out of action for a little while, so I'm afraid we're going to be even slower for a while. Massive thank you for all the good wishes we've already had, your saintly patience is massively appreciated. New cast yesterday, so we have started to look for an automatic car/van so that we can get out to site asap. We will be using the time to train up a couple of new hedgers, so if you know anyone really keen to have a go, please get in contact! As always a stack load of projects to get on with...Achilles was not a hedging injury I hasten to add!
The piggery we were working on before the current boundary revetment/hedge was like working with pic-a-sticks, quite a delicate process, but exposing some of the original cobbled surface, repairing with a new buttress, lime slurry and pointing has been a satisfying if somewhat painstaking process as we worked in 6" space behind the shed! The Piggery walls are now all wrapped up...little bit of finishing, roofing/guttering to re-instate once the wraps come off... Huge thanks to Alan, Hazel and his lovely neighbours at Glenview who have been incredibly patient and complementary re our somewhat glacial progress!! Could not think of more lovely folk to work with. Very much looking forward to putting the new team together to get back out there!

Back to Lanner Green, where its fair to say the 19th Century outbuildings/ boundary retaining walls are in need of a little love...

Sycamore Gap...a bit of a tidy and we're on to the next. Its been great working in Ponsanooth but there's a sizeable wall that's pressing now..literally...
