Hi,

we are getting into peak balsam pulling time again now, so this is an shameless plea for help, Andy of TRT and myself are carrying out balsam working parties on the following dates,

if you can help PM me for more details

Wed 30th June - Okeover park, meet 10am
Wed 7th July - Meet 10am
Fri 9th July - Humle End meet 10am
Wed 21st July - Hulme End, meet 10am
23rd July - Meet 3pm

there will be more dates added to this

Now for the sweetener all the names of people who come and help will have their names put in a hat for a days fishing on the passport beat at Raikes in Beresford dale courtesy of TRT, and if sorted at a mutually suitable date, I will sort the lucky person a lunch in a local pub


Many thanks in advance for your help

I am pleased that you are pulling it. I have tried every other way and none work as well. Now got down from an acre or so to a few square yards. Good luck with your campaign

Charlie - might be worth registering on BBC Breathing Places

Bit of a faff initially but if I can manage to work it out......
Potentially a good source of volunteers if the local forumites/anglers can't get of their @rses

Alternatively you can eat your way out of trouble... with this lovely curry.

I believe there is also a recipe for crumble somewhere - please post if you have it.

er right, not sure i want to eat that much curry


Extra day this wednesday on Okeover, PM me for info,

so far had two days of rangers time and volunteers from the peak district national park, Andy has had a school group or two, I have taken out a group of year 9 and 10 students pulling it on the Manifold, and I have the peak park conservation volunteers, out both days next weekend, we are making good head way on the manifold and have covered most the stretchs between the top of the manifold and hulme end

any help on wednesday would be apprecitated
