The Rocheid Challenge
Tuesday 17th
Today Chris led The Hardy BTCV Adventures along the notorious Rocheid Path. The slopes of Rocheid were a challenge but with good weather conditions the group started to dig out and prepare the existing path so that over the following days work could begin on installing new edging. Gemma(using her climbing experience)ventured down the north face with a couple of volunteers and started to prepare the lowlands this was so planting could begin over the coming days.

Day two of the assault on Rocheid, Ronnie joined the group today this was to be his last adventure with BTCV for the time being so he led half the volunteers and Chris led the other half and work commenced. In great conditions they worked from opposite ends of the notorious Devil's Path on Rocheid, installing the new edging along it so that local travellers could use the path safely.

Day three and the Hardy BTCV Adventurers once again made there way along the Devil's Path at Rocheid, under a blistering sun the two teams worked tirelessly to install the new edging along the paths outer edge. Ronnie would like to take this opportunity(as you know i am moving on) to say a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers and staff at BTCV for giving me the opportunity to work with and get to now all of you it's been a pleasure, THANK YOU!!. Until we meet again.
