"I’ve never had so much fun in the rain! Scything and learning about, exploring and conserving an important historic feature (medieval stock enclosure) on the Long Mynd is a great way to brighten up any damp and grey day. As I was scything my way through the bracken on Novers Hill, I could clearly see the many benefits of this valuable work and the issues it addresses – e.g. opening up and protecting an ancient monument, providing grazing for the commoners livestock, enhancing the landscape, controlling an invasive plant, improving biodiversity, etc."
