Finished the path from south east of the far field across to the breach and tidied up main path across the triangle field 1T

Cleared a path east to the marsh on the south of the far field. 1T and cleared to the top of the triangle field 1T - June 6th
Cleared the bund from the north to the breach, around the breach and maybe 45% across the marsh. 1T - June 5th
Cleared the bund from the north to within 60m of the breach 2T - June 4th
Cleared across small triangle field and far field up to the bund 2T - June 3rd
Cleared up to the breach 3T - June 2nd
Given that I have kept some of the triangle field paths in trim with the hand mower I managed to trim the sides of what I had done and extend the to the top some 60m, so half the paths are in good shape. I also tided around wagon and the workshop/veg area, 1T
There were a couple of problems with the engine a) it was difficult to start and b) it nearly stalled a few times ~ I had to rev it up a bit
A second run along the bund to the river and north some, also cleared side of track to Trekensa gardens 1T
The engine stalled once - April 15th
Used strimmer around garden and had to manually fee the strimmer cord by hand twice. It seems the innards are sticking ?? 1T
Total 28 tanks (21Lt)
