Floods have badly eroded the meander in the Overy mill
stream.
36 live stakes of crack willow, cut from the copse across
the stream, were driven into the gravel base of the river bank by
volunteers, with the help of a JCB, and secured to the bank.

This remedy falls far short of proper willow spiling, but it
has worked for us in the past.
