Saturday 13th February

Saturday 13th February saw us carry on with the previous weekend's work around the Work Area / Bushell's Bend / Approach to the "Orchard" Tunnel.
Above : Ivan and Colin B put up the chestnut fencing. The pit lane exit will run behind this fence.

Above : Colin P and Alan C put up recycled chestnut fencing. The pit lane will exit in the foreground.

Above : John H and and Colin P put up chestnut.

Above : Michael Banks (of Riverside fame) joining chestnut fencing.

Above : John H in the tractor and Michael B. This is the pit lane exit, with outside fence on the left and mx track on the right.

Above :Alan C and Dave P removing old fencing. A slight change to last weekend's plans, we now are going through the gap in the chestnut on the right rather than make a "S" bend. The soil in the foreground will be excavated to make a bowel, and the fence where Alan C is is moving back.x.

Above : Looking back at the pit lane exit.

Above : Michael B and Colin B are connecting the pit lane exit to the work area.

Above : Pit lane exit onto track. Alan C and Colin P putting up the fence.

Above : Another view of where the track will go, the new corner is going where the tractor is.

Above : Ivan and Colin B join some recycled chestnut fencing. Pit lane exit slip in middle.

Another problem we are working on, is out signing on container has a leek in it. As you may have noticed while queuing for signing on over the years, there has been a steadily worsening drip where you need to sign. We've thus got club member and welder to the stars Tony D to fix it.
Above : Metal plates between the roof/mezzanine (aka "Taj Mahal") and the signing on container (aka "press room") have been removed.

Above : A few holes, plus the seam has gone (see line of rust).

See you all next week!
