Despite the warning of bad weather we were joined by volunteers from AVOVE in an attempt to clear a large coppice area that was covering a number of graves.

You can see the coppice that lies behind the volunteers and the outline of a number of graves hidden within the shrubbery.  When the team arrived there was none of the predicted wind but the drizzle soaked through your clothes! That drizzle later became torrential rain, but the team were determined to clear the whole coppice.

 

As you can see by the photograph below, they totally cleared the coppice and uncovered  lots of graves that had been hidden for many years.
