New signs, Ynys Dawela Wednesday 31st January 2018
I'll start by apologising for the issue with yesterdays Blog!,
Yes we made it look effortless, and its appearance belies its weight, it was heavy..., and to be honest I had serious doubts about getting it installed, after all we were digging in a layby... we shifted some decent sized stones and some post-crete from the previous sign, (actually we dug around it).
Just to reiterate, if anyone is keen to be involved in the Butterfly survey this year please get in touch, paul.pembreylnr@outlook.com.
Yesterday saw us at the Ynys Dawela Nature Park near Brynaman where we set about removing the old information sign and replacing it with a nice new sign, in what looks like being the design for the reserves going forward.
We are quite skilled at digging holes, and with a bit of huffing and puffing, mostly by me, we got the three holes dug and the new sign installed.
Made from Oak it should last a good while, just needs the left hand panel completed with an information frame.
Ynys Dawela is a lovely site, look out for events planned here in the coming months.
