swansong

At approximately 3 am we set off, hedge clippers in hand.
With perhaps not the stealthiest of wardrobe choices we started our intervention under cover of darkness (wearing our gleaming white 'ugly duckling' t-shirts)









After battling long and hard with the overgrown foliage (about 45 minutes) we came out triumphant, and settled down to a good 3 hours sleep before our presentation that morning.





Viewing our handywork later that day we were pleased to see the subtle outline of the arrow all the way from the 'manchester wheel', and many intrigued passers by.

hopefully our intervention made people look twice when walking past the river. Wether it is recognised as an important space that could give life back to the city only time can tell.


to be continued... (?)
