At the request of Wem Rural Parish Council a couple from the Wem P3 Group went to the Tilly Raven and attached a defibrillator housing to the outside wall of the pub. At the time of writing the defibrillator has not yet been activated and this process is in the hands...

This week, a small group of P3ers took on the clearing of overgrowth along the popular route heading north to Reeves Wood Yard. Thanks to their efforts, the path is now shorts-friendly!

The forecast said it was going to rain later this morning, so everyone who actually read Saturday’s email properly turned up early. I didn’t — so of course, I was late! Sorry everyone!   The idea was to get the job done before the rain hit and finish early, but...

With a few of the crew tied up with other commitments, we could only muster three pairs of hands this week. Stiles don’t install themselves, so under a blanket of mist, the three of us met early and headed out to Upper Lacon Farm, to the eastern end of the rerouted...

Following a request from a local landowner, this morning we headed out towards Aston to install a new stile near Brockhurst Farm. The old stile was barely recognisable, no more than just a couple of bits of rotten wood in the corner of a field, with the new stile in...

With a team of just four this week we were wondering which task to tackle. There’s the ever present need to check and clear our walking routes, then there’s surveying and planning our remaining Wem Walk routes but in the end we opted to respond to a request from one...

After recent rain and weather warnings, we were thrilled to meet up this morning under a clear blue sky and bright sunshine. This week's task was replacing a double stile over Northwood area, on land adjacent to Ivy House Farm. We were kindly allowed to park in the...

The weather forecast for this morning looked far from promising, but by 9:30 there was still no sign of the expected rain, so we pressed on with the planned work behind St Mary the Virgin Church in Edstaston. We had a good turnout of willing volunteers, though one or...

The spotlight fell on the footpath up Drawwell Walk today for its annual clearance. We cut everything back very hard last year and it made this year’s work much easier. We used our new transport - a collapsible trundler - to take our equipment to the path and then set...

Monday 11th August, it was hot, dry and the ground like concrete - just the sort of day to repair a double stile? We’re back on last week’s footpath, repairing the double stile we’ve been putting off tackling. Four of us removed what was left of the old steps,...

In spite of the impending Storm Floris three hardy souls set out today to continue last week’s work near Poolhead. Last week it was a gate at one end of the footpath, this week it was replacing a dilapidated stile at the other end. The middle double stile will be our...

Today we headed to Poolhead, joined by our guest Ian, to replace a dilapidated stile. The footpath runs alongside an old building—possibly some kind of storage, though we're not entirely sure. After the spell of dry weather, the ground was very hard, and the abundance...
