Griffen Ascent
Cleared all drains on the trail and made some improvements to drains—minor trail tread improvements (topped up a few sections with mineral soil). Just some basic work to ensure the trail tread is staying in the best condition during wet weather

Bridle Path
Topped up trai bled and re-established drainage in the climb section near Will’s Way. Created a new grade reversal based on a very large rock, closed and revegetated sections of tread creep, and topped up the trail with mineral soil.
