Team 4.
Hardcastle Crags was closed because of strong winds so Ray and Frank H were unable to continue with last week's work on the steps up to Walshaw. Instead they cleared a minor job of installing a marker post at the bottom of the track that leads from the Nest Lane area up to Daisy Bank.
This was a straightforward task. The old marker post, which was originally near the road, had been damaged by wayward vehicles so needed re-siting. So here we have:
The old post had been broken off at the bottom so once in place it's height above ground level would now be less . . . .
. . . . So welcome to the world of Lilliput with a mini-post matched to the wall height!
This task took only part of the morning so the remainder of the day was spent on a trip to CALVAG to collect poles that could be cut into stobs (both standard and long) and also on a session of cutting risers to fully replenish our step construction supplies. . . . and was the mitre-saw left beautifully clean after use? You bet it was!
