As I was leaving the area today I spoke to some contractors and a Landmark member of staff at the entrance to Hawley Woods, next to the Sailing Club gates in L6
They were clearing two drainage ditches and a culvert. There were already two car-sized piles of debris that had been removed. The two ditches head NW and NE from opposite the sailing club gates and so contribute to draining the standing water from the K5/K6 and L5 area. The contractors advised that water had rushed into the culvert from the ditches when first cleared and headed into the culvert and out into Hawley Lake within the Sailing Club grounds. It appears that the ditches had been blocked for decades.
This may make winter searches drier and result in fewer "no-sightings"
Fingers crossed
