The day started off very wet with heavy rain, by the time the days volunteers had gathered at the mess room it was decided that we would carry out the monthly hide inspection and tidy up.

All the hides on the reserve had to be checked for the correct signage, any vandalism and any rubbish removed.

After lunch when the volunteers had left it was time for me to undergo some tractor training. This involved learning how to carry out the pre checks, basic maintenance and then onto the driving.

Once the basic operating the thing forwards and backwards at the various speeds had been carried out it was time to hook up a trailer and learn to trailer reverse. The lesson ended by learning how to operate the front bucket and load and then tip the trailer.
