Saturday 6th February
Following on from last weekend's extensive post and railing, today's job is to revisit both "Paddock Bend" and "Eastwood" and put up the chestnut fencing. 
Above : Paddock Bend - all done other than the gate post. 
Above : Alan C, Colin P, John H, and Peter Burton. Alan is cutting and joining the lengths of chestnut fencing (with me), Colin is pulling the fence tight with the spike (1m long bar), John is stapling, while Pete is doing the intermediate staples. 
Above : Finished job, entering the "Eastwood" corner, you can see the berm starting in front of you, allowing the water to run downhill under the marshal point. 
Above : The fence is (hopefully) offset enough to allow us to pull the burm back in with the back actor of the JCB / 360. 
Above : You can just see the end of the berm, where the corner finishes and the straight begins.
Above : Our JCB man digging out the old broken fencing around "Bushell's bend" for the next weekend's work. .
Above : Even the best get stuck. While going to repair (at this point we hadn't thought of moving this bit of track yet) a bit of fencing near "Derek's Dive" we got on of the tractors stuck in the deep wet clay. You can see Colin P unhooking the Ford from the Case. You can also see the lowered boom of the post driver.
Above : Colin P again.
Above : I mentioned tractor weights last week. We brought a box of them at a farm sale. We've put 6 (3 of one time and 3 of another) on our ford but have some left over bits. If these are of use to anyone make us an offer.
Above : Not really sure what these are.
