Having walked up the steps at St. Martin’s Point only this morning I was somewhat concerned and embarrassed by the amount of overgrowth of vegetation that at times was almost covering the steps at various points. This set of steps is one of the most popular areas for both locals and visitors to walk and needs regular maintenance to keep it clear. The gradient is quite steep and when you are unsure underfoot it is easy to stumble, which I had done as I reached the top this morning.

It was a lovely evening, and there were plenty of people around when I quickly set about cutting back the overgrown vegetation, working my way down, from top to bottom. I took the opportunity to put my bucket and collecting can out for contributions to Autism Guernsey 365, should people wish to contribute.

I always enjoy the interactions with locals and visitors and I am always grateful for any contributions people make, either financially or in verbal comments, and I must admit I was really grateful for this lady who not only left me some money but left me this lovely note:

Eventually I managed some 50 steps and I was pleased to see the difference my work had made to the clearing of the concrete steps.

(The above comments are no more than Eric deserves – he spends so much time out there, doing this work for the good of all cliff path users, as well as for the benefit of Autism Guernsey).
