It's late now, so I'll give you a ring in the morning and then once we've spoken I'll give the seller a ring and check out that collect...

Re: Afon Nedd Fechan
Any update re clearance of the trees from Horsehoe Falls ?
Is there any reason why our Club can't try and remove the fallen trees
aware that this is in a protected area but if trees have fallen and are causing
a hazard could we remove them ? Any advice appreciated

Any update or progress re the Trees on the Nedd Fechan please ?
Shame that such a brilliant River is / was pretty much out of bounds due to the trees down.
Presume no interest from local Clubs/ Kayakers to do a tree clearance operation ?
Thanks for an update
