18/01/2024  9.00 - 13.00  Blashford North. Paths and hides checked. All appears OK except for some of the signage. The tape, covering directions to the Car Park via the Hanson Plant on some of the sign posts  is coming loose or has been lost and needs replacing while the Hanson path is still closed. There is some rubbish, including bottles, behind the bramble on the right of the path as one returns to the road from the Tern Hide.

On the south side there are some branches in the Dockens Water before the turning onto the Rockford path, that could do with removing. There is currently a foam patch by them.
