We had a lot of snow between 5.30pm and 6.15pm yesterday and it is too overcast today for the situation to improve.

There is a balance to be struck. We wouldn't want to undo 100 years of heritage in one stroke. But we have built a prototype fence, which fits on to the same portable chassis as [the movable] hurdles, and the birch is stuffed into the frame in the same way as now. The sections can be wheeled around and give us the chance to rest the ground. But we haven't done any schooling over it yet.
