Today we diverted a footpath away from the edge of one of the chalk pits on Peppard Common. In the past this footpath took a different route, but a storm-felled tree had long ago caused walkers and cyclists to find a new route which became dangerous by natural erosion of the chalk pit. We opened up the original route by cutting back holly and thorn and felled small trees across the dangerous section to make it impassable.
