Bought a new mower blade today for the club mower as the last time I mowed, the severe wear on the ends of the blade reduced it's ability to cut the grass let alone mow the strip low. Took a trip to the field on the way home this morning & both ends of the strip & the reeds end of the cross strip are soggy. Apart from the normal pooling areas, the majority of the field is mostly firm.
Has been a fortnight since I was able to mow at a longer than desired length. Will give the strip a little more time to dry out & attack the accessible area this afternoon.
We have had mongrel bikers at the field again who delighted in donutting the muddy strip at the Grace end of the main runway and also at the other end but fortunately off the strip.
Does not look promising for the weekend though, there is a small chance of rain Friday, 65% of 1-5mm Saturday & 65% of 25-50mm on Sunday. 10mm of rain will flood the field, so we can expect Lake McCoy to make all the grass disappear.
