Re: Work in Progress
We finished off the North end of the track today lowering it to ground level for ease of loadind and offloading.
Parking area leveled and fence relocated.
The platform was painted with non slip paint and soggy areas filled with road plainings.

Re: Work in Progress
Today Saturday 13th April, saw a few volunteers working hard on two major projects.
Beth and I tackled the large amount of waste wood that has piled up on the caravan chassis in the process of dismantling it for scrap. This exercise has been going on for several weeks as the caravan was taken apart very carefully to minimise the impact on the environment. We had a stroke of luck when we found out that whist polystyrene had been used to insulate it, it had not been bonded to the metal panels and therefore no small pieces were allowed to pollute the area as we took it out. This polystyrene was then recycled.
The wood we dealt with today could not be used in construction again due to the high number of nails, staples and the odd few screws in it. Therefore I have cut it all up using the radial arm saw and boxed it. Those volunteers who have wood burners and open fires and who don’t mind the fixings can help themselves to a box or two.
Other volunteers were tackling VB 4 which is finally being refurbished with a view to using it for storage. See next post for photos

Wel done everyone VB 4 is starting to look a lot better and getting some much need tlc. It was looks a lot better with new paint . And not forgetting the caravan removal work it won’t be long now before it’s gone for good now hurray!
I would have come down today but have been at the Thirsk auction, to be honest it was poor and some ways wish I hadn’t gone . But saying that I got an item of another mate , so that made my day.
