MCBEG OCTOBER 2009

Trip Leader: Tony
When: 10th October 2009
Location: Wungong Regional Park visit 7
Participants: 16 Members, 3 Visitors

After lunch, some continued to collect rubbish while others went to the disused clay pit area to assist in the retrieval of the
panel van found at the last visit from the pit. At the previous visit it had been laboriously towed from a difficult position in a gulley and left near a track for a jinker to collect.

In the meantime it was stolen again and burned before being pushed over into the clay pit. No comment needed. Great work by Piers’ winch once again and it was ready to be picked up by DEC. By 2.30pm, the extra large skip provided by DEC was filled to capacity.

Three horses from the horse rescue service at Bedfordale were being exercised in the Park whilst we were there. One of the riders commented that this is a regular exercise area for the horses and they were pleased to see a group like ours taking social responsibility as some members of the local community do create problems in the park!
Light rain showers began at around 2pm so by 2.30pm we finished for the day and began our respective journeys home, each one of us feeling satisfied with a job well done once again. Having our 3 visitors and potential members with DEC’s John, Tony & Peter made it a great day so thanks to those who came. Special mention must be made of Trevor & Lewis who worked hard despite only having returned from Thailand the day before!
