After all the recent hot weather the temperature was a bit more comfortable this afternoon. We walked down to Nightingale's Bridge then waded back upstream to clear a few clumps of big plants which were beginning to set seeds though none were yet ripe. Despite the long spell of dry weather, there were still a few deep spots in the river which were only passable with chest waders.
We then moved on to the patch of riverbank at the corner of Hilly Fields. Again there were some very big plants but there was less than half the quantity of them that we've seen in previous years and we were able to clear them relatively quickly despite the surrounding nettles putting up some resistance.

We then returned to Parsonage Bridge and cleared up a few stragglers which we missed last week along Glebeland
