The grid references refer to Landranger sheet 153. Where the reference is shown as "?" the location of the site has yet to be decided, so contact us for further details. This is a condensed version of our task programme. Please come along and join us. The pick up details are at the end of this page. If you wish to make your own way, please Email us a couple of days before hand so we have some idea of numbers. Also, tasks very occasionally change, and we can update you in time.
Bring your lunch, we provide the tea breaks. Dress warm.
6 April Somewhere in N Beds GR ? RIGHTS OF WAY WORK
These tasks are always a bit of pot luck. We do know we will be somewhere in the Ouse valley. The work might be putting in kissing gates or stiles, building a bridge, or installing way mark posts. Whichever it is, perhaps a mixture, it will be very satisfying; a bit of graft, then stand back and admire your work. The site is unknown at the moment, so please either travel via the Market Square car park, or contact the leader a few days in advance, and he will tell you where to park if you wish to go directly.
13 April Bromham Lake, Bromham GR 025 517 TERN RAFT MAKING
Terns are little sea birds that like to live on rafts in the middle Bromham Lake. Loads of fun, bits of woodwork lots of team work. The site is along Lower Farm Road, turn right into the site, a little way before the bypass bridge.

A minibus departs at 9.30am prompt on the day of each task from the Market car park (opposite the Boulevards shopping centre) in the centre of Bedford. It returns by 5PM approx.
