Today the Silver Slashers were working near Benllech, clearing a large area around a burial chamber, which was almost covered by small trees and brambles.

Working near RAF Valley, at Silver Slashers we installed two wooden kissing gates, plus some marker posts and a bit of clearance.

The Silver Slashers were working near Aberffraw today, in two working parties. We had to clear a lot of brambles to install this ladder stile.

Today the Silver Slashers were clearing a footpath, removing fallen trees and replacing some steps between Llandonna and Pentraeth forest. There's old trees and lots of evidence of previous hazel coppicing.

We're really enjoying watching Jule's and Greg's Wild Swim on BBC Scotland. It already makes us want to return to the Outer Hebrides. And there's some amazing tidal pools in Fife:

The Silver Slashers were replacing three ladder stiles today, around Ty Croes close to Bodorgan railway station. A calm day with warm sunshine and outstanding views.

For the past few weeks the Silver Slashers have been working on replacing 60m of boardwalk along the Anglesey coastal path near Llandonna. Bad weather delayed us on a couple of days. We finished the final section yesterday. Where possible we've re-used the tread boards to save money.

Hopefully they'll also be room on the spaceship for Mr Far Rage and 'our Tommy'.

After visiting Culzean Gardens (NT Scotland), we're parked up on the Scar Park CAMpRA aire, overlooking Stranraer. It's an ex-RAF Flying Boat station. The huge pitches are on the concrete plane parking areas and we must be about 50m from our nearest van neighbour!

Currently parked up by Saltcoats harbour on the west coast of Scotland. Although windy last night, we've been serenaded by myriad seagulls and oyster catchers and watched a lovely sunset. The fish and chips were good too.

BREAKING: A UN inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
All eyes are now on the UK Government who must stop indulging in genocide denial.
It must fulfil its legal and moral responsibility by taking immediate, decisive steps to prevent and punish genocide.
