Pringle Bay Hack Report No 141-143

PRINGLE BAY HACK REPORT N0 141 Our final hack for 2018 took place on 25 November when we continued work on the plot next to the entrance of Pringle Bay for the fourth time. The hackers have now established that it generates more success if they work as a team. (See the first photo below.) The Spider Gums were falling with a regular rhythm, making steady progress. The two Pines that were left from the previous hack (because they were too close to the telephone line) are gone as well and the telephone line is…

Pringle Bay Hack Report No 134

On Earth Day, 22 April 2018, the Pringle Bay Hack Group convened at Drostersgat to celebrate our blessings in being able to do our bit for our beloved Earth. We tackled the monstrous Rooikrantz (it has been an eyesore for a number of years) at the Hangklip, Buffels and Stream roads intersection. That kept us very productive until teatime, whereafter we moved to the High-level and Flat roads intersection to tackle the ever-present Australian Myrtle. There was a lot of dragging to be done, because the branches were required for the reinforcement of the Pringle…
