Leader : Louise Hill & Kay Woodward
Meet : 10.30am Park by road side above reservoir on Greave Road at SE 142056
Attendees : Louise Hill. Kay Woodward, John Scott, Peter Burton, Les Coe
Purpose of meeting: To survey the site to find and record species both previously recorded and unrecorded, to contribute towards Atlas 2020.
Due to problems on the M62, traffic in the area was adversely affected causing serious delays on local roads. This resulted in prolonged journey times for those travelling to the site, and caused a delayed start to proceedings. The meeting eventually got underway at 11.10am.
Due to a miserable weather forecast, it was at one time considered that the meeting would have to be abandoned. However, the party agreed to brave the rain, which persisted all day, and carry on.
We added some nice species to the Tetrad lists. A very worthy day out - if a little cold and damp.

After the meeting, as a consolation for the cold and wet, the party retired to the Oil Can cafe at Dover Mill to sample the excellent cakes and to regain some feeling in the fingers.
