More back filling!

 The work on the track at the Rocks by Rail Museum continues!

From a higher viewing point the extent is clear to see.

Of course we do have mechanised assistance - when it works! Harriot did decide to break down for a short while but luckily had a change of mind later on!

Meanwhile, working on the viewing platform continues with more back filling to get a level approach.

This where we got to last week.

Following some intense quarrying of some conveniently placed spoil nearby which Alex and David are gigging through in this animated GIF we got to this.

It may not look much different but there is about two tons of material dug out, wheel barrowed and tipped which is not bad going for a cold and damp day!

We can actually stand at the edge of the barrier and see the view that visitors will get looking up to the quarry sidings. It should give a whole new perspective as well as giving photographers a nice vantage point. Still more to do but this is one of those projects that has moved forward quite quickly which is nice and gratifying. Hopefully we may get some warmer and sunnier weather next week!
