A Great Milestone Reached!


120ft of platform footings are now in place, ready for the first stage of the platform re build. Hats off to Jim who orchestrated the run up to achieving this.

A Great Day on Wednesday!

A special work day was convened to install and commission the Water and Electricity Supplies for the site. Great progress was made!

The Water Supply was "tapped" into in the driveway. A trench was then dug towards the cabins, and although time got the better of us, the final stretch and connection should be very straight forward (famous last words!).









The connection to the electrical supply had been attempted earlier this year but a grounding problem frustratingly left the job unfinished. Here the cable is being replaced and good work by Steve the Spark saw the work successfully completed, bar the switch on!








How about JCB Aerobatics! Steve the Shovel gets airborne to dig the trench to the mains supply in the driveway .









And finally Steve the Spark gets down to the task of connecting the electricity up at a junction box along the trackbed. Potential volunteers please note that above all volunteers enjoy themselves!

Digging a Hole!

11th April 2009

Spent an enjoyable morning with Alan digging the proverbial hole - we were looking for the water supply to the Station Site. Didn't find it before the muscles expired! A JCB coming to assist during the week. Forgot sandwiches but receive food donations from fellow workers - I must remember to return the favour next time. Trying to set up a Wednesday Gang which Andy C will try and coordinate. There is lots to do on the bank adjacent to the approach drive - Strimmers and Brush Cutter required. All offerings will be gratefully received! Curtesy of Bernard Cribbins! http://www.listal.com/video/8605227
