Nettles

[wheezing donkey]

After yesterday's run, I will now have to abandon a particular route due to the blighters. Shoulder high grass, nettles and brambles. Almost impenetrable but persevered as the thought of turning around was equally unappealing. Will return next in the autumn if the Worcestershire CC path clearing team don't show up.

Surely the trick is to use all your local routes on a regular 'rota' to stop or stamp down such growth before it becomes excessive?
