For members and Juniors new to the river. Please be aware that Giant Hogweed is a nasty plant and not to be messed with. Please do not attempt to cut it down to get access to the river. Leave it to those with the experience, skills and protective equipment to deal with it. Work has already started to take down the Hogweed “Jungle” between the Railway Bridge and the Prestonhall sleeper Bridge thanks to Bill Livingston.
