Jesmond Park/John Hunter Hospital Hill update for 26 Apr

Trails in Jesmond are a mess with a lot of trees down or hung up, increased erosion, etc. which is to be expected. As noted, ridge fire trail has several trees down and is impassable. Cambridge loop/Fairyland has two trees across it which need a chainsaw but bridge is still intact. Huntington Downhill has a tree across bottom part of first steep section (before rocky slope) which would need a chainsaw but is otherwise clear. Note bottom end close to Jesmond Park has a lot of standing water. Hand cleared what I could as I moved around. Note geotech works for bypass may see a lot these issues resolved but they are also chopping up the fire trails with the drilling equipment.
