Hawthorn lake special. 4th March 2018

4/3/2018

For various reasons, dear reader, I had to pop over to the north east side of Manor farm. I took this opportunity to introduce you to the north side of Hawthorn lake.

24 hours after the thaw set in most all the snow has gone. Only the deeper stuff, primarily caused by drifting of the fine dry snow, and those bits in deep shade survived to this morning. Colnbrook lake looked clear of ice. Manor lake north was still fairly solid with ice.

With temperatures up to 6 degree centigrade, I was beginning to get heat stroke as I wandered around the reserve for an hour. :-)

Also, note that I have special permission to be on the Eversley quarry site of Fleet Hill farm, Manor farm and the Hampshire part, Chandlers farm. They are not open areas for general access. Please keep to the public rights of way.

I was quite fascinated to see how Cemex would restore their gravel extractions workings to become a nature reserve, and so started this blog. There is an ulterior motive. It does mean that my partner and I get some well needed exercise as we stomp around the reserve every week. Following the progress of the restorations does mean the walk is not as tedious as it might otherwise become.

Don't worry about one of the archives being November 2025. You haven't entered a time warp! It's just that I've discovered a way to pin a post to the top of a blogger in Weebly; not straight forward apparently. I have to set the date far far into the future.
