Big freeze brings blocking to a halt

The freezing weather in Wales has put a, hopefully temporary, stop to the ditch blocking this winter. No blocking has taken place since the first big snow fall on the 26th November. Snow and ice on the access roads has made getting onto the mountains impossible.

The decision to start work early this season has paid dividends as blocking has already been completed on five parcels of privately owned land in addition to the remaining ditches at Penaran and an additional 9 km at Lake Vyrnwy. Fingers crossed it won't last too much longer! 

The snow arrived on the 26th November!
