April Achievements
On 21-Apr-2010 a Working Party installed one Metal k/g to replace
a stile and one new sleeper bridge to replace a muddy ditch with
rough stepping stones on the ACW path between Eaves Green &
Meriden Shafts (GR 263 828).
View from the south with the team of 5
working on the k/g : 21-Apr-2010
The site passes through two thick hedges either side
of a wide but shallow ditch. This allowed us to site the k/g a
metre south of the stile it replaced still leaving a generous space
between the edge of the field and the hoops of the k/g. This
in turn allowed us to have one team working on the k/g and one on
the s/b without getting in each others way. It also allowed us
to fit the s/b and grade the path to form a gentle slope from
the k/g through to the path on the north side of the hedge.
We also fitted a new WMP by the north side of the
hedge, a seat made from the stile step by the edge of the horse
field and surfaced the path with sand and gravel. Altogether
this is a great improvement.
A good attendance of 8, plus fine weather meant both
tasks were finished by 13:10, and we again went to The Queen's Head
for lunch.
