On Sunday 5 October we paid our second visit to Congleton Hydro. Our activities for the day included clearing a path through woodland and constructing a small bridge, building a dead hedge along an edge of the site, dealing with some late Himalayan balsam which hadn’t yet popped its seeds – and admiring some of the woodland fungi.
The hydro plant was out of action for some of the day due to a power cut in the local area the day before, but later we were pleased to see it operational again and were lucky too to get an impromptu talk from one of the volunteer engineers on the hydro project’s history over the past decade or so!
