Wednesday 23rd February 2022
The Wednesday Volunteers turned up expecting the worse after the 2 storms had passed through since we last attended.
Plenty of bits and pieces had been blown down and last weeks clean up was re - enacted
As usual Ron was first on the case , on the track bed picking up bits of broken twigs.
One of the more serious problems was a rather large branch had broken off a tree behind platform 2, it had fallen on top of the span that brings the BT line/ Broadband , Camera feeds etc to the Office. Neal and John on Monday had cut up the said branch . and on Wednesday the lads above moved the broken bits to the Bonfire area.
Dave with a little help had to erect a new pole and reattach the services as the existing pole was slightly bent in the branch fall.
Out on the drive Chris was shoveling up what looks like Mud ? washed down the driveway from the houses on the hill . Ian too was brushing down the main drive.
Pat was being careful not to strim the appearing Daffodils on the embankment .
Bottom of the drive saw Tony and Paul removing the covers to clean out more mud brought down the driveway by the rain.
By next week the scaffolding should have been taken down under Canopy extension , it could be all hands to get that area looking good for the opening on the 12th March.
And finally a picture from the embankment , a sign of Winter is nearly over with , and Spring and Steam Trains are on their way .
