6th and 7th March 2012
This week the Lochore Green Gym Team undertook the muddy task of removing the mass of tangled weeds from the well know pond at Lochore Meadows Country Park. Armed with chromes and waders the team made a huge difference to the flow of water through this previously clogged pond. While Sandy and Phil sensibly worked from the comfort of the banks there was no stopping Richard who donned the waders and was working waist deep. The two supposedly experienced members of the group, Dave and Marcia, both made the same rookie mistake of going in deeper than their wellies were designed for, resulting in one soggy foot each for the rest of the day and a pair of socks that will never match again.
Jeanette was smart enough to carry on with the brashing, a much cleaner job, and Amy was quick to offer her assistance.
Fun was had by all, well almost. The only unfortunate victims were one poor frog that did not get out the way quick enough and Marcia’s white sock.
