Amazing Jon Aston of @Wellington84h undertaking his T50 challenge started at 6:40 this morning - now 12 hours in...

@louiselmx @LoveWellington1 @telfordlive @TelfordWrekin @WellingtonTCl @Cllrldcarter @wellingtonla21 @CommunityRail Planning in detail is being started - we have lists from Network Rail of approved and forbidden varieties, especially trees and shrubs. Priority will be very low maintenance (it's big, we aren't!) and of course bee/bug friendly.

[WellingtonStnFriends @Wellington84h]

Huge thanks to @TelfordWrekin @WMRailExecutive @ABusinessMaker @WellingtonTCl @LoveWellington1 @JonRAston1 and many more. Sponsorship of raised beds welcome! @wellingtonla21 @jimallthetime @WellingtonRota1

Finally we have a fantastic blank canvas to fill with bee/butterfly plants at Wellington Station, gateway to Wellington. Now we need to start saving up for plants, and we'd love some help. Even £1 is gratefully received. GoFundMe: https://t.co/Ydl4NojmqB

The easy way to get to the GoFundMe page - every £1 will help. Here's our marathon runner Jon, intending to do almost a double for us on the T5050 Trail.
