Always good to know that. Grass will soon be growing fast, foliage transpiring. Careful management of the fields will keep the ground in decent condition.

Agreed, I am originally from Sheffield, that would be classed as a slope there!

Small world, there are some great hills there, I am originally from Wortley the other side of the valley. I remember walking up to the swimming baths in Stockbridge as a child, that was a proper hill! Latterly lived in Crookes until we moved to Cornwall.

Yep was up top but I zoomed in and we didn’t go up that far

Thanks for the photos all. Legitimately just brought a grin to my face seeing these!

Good to hear. Anytime I hear the ground is dry on the farm, whether that's March or June, I feel a little calmer inside as my worst nightmare is 2016 mud levels, or god forbid, even worse than that.

 

It's been a fairly dry winter by recent standards, much drier than the last couple of winters thats for sure... albeit I've lived in Kent and Derbyshire during this time so quite a way from Worthy Farm.

2016 keeps coming up as a bad year for mud and I always get confused. I don’t recall it being that bad. 
 

Just had a look at some pictures from that year. Seems my brain has filtered it out
