Would you believe it ....

Something has been done about the so-called protective (i.e. hideous and possibly rather unsafe) matting on the Stray. A thick layer of sand has been laid over the bumpy bits and raked flat. I have no idea whether this is likely to be a long-term solution, or whether it's going to be safe, but it still feels like progress.

And this doesn't feel like progress - a neat little charred circle left by person or persons unknown who were obviously having a bonfire. OK, not a huge deal, like so many things that happen on the Stray, but it shouldn't happen. It's bad for the grass, a potential fire risk, and the more the legislation is ignored the harder it will be to enforce.
