TENDER LOVING CARE

Two Leader Water Path seats have recently needed major TLC.

They'd only been there since the path was opened - in 2010!!!!!

The one beside the boat pool was propped up on a couple of stones: the area was badly eroded after so long and so many pairs of feet.

Ian and Tom constructed a new platform, repositioning the seat which means less chance of it or anyone falling in the river!

The seat below Borders Forest Trust community woodland, beside the footbridge, was terminal despite the DIY that kept it going the last couple of years: finally gave up the ghost, now firewood.

Thanks to Scottish Borders Council who supplied the replacement and Path Warden Matt who helped carry it all the way down.

A well deserved coffee and share of the chocolate.

Coincidentally, the Council are advertising for another Warden at the moment.
