Steppingstone Lane Bridge Restoration

By the end of the day everything was ready for the laying of scalpings - as you can see below. Scalpings are only being laid over the dam - the ground in the copse is firm enough without them.

There was one other person on the work party - Alan. Here are some photos of what Alan got up to.

Apart from laying scalpings we have to move our blue box from its current location on top of the bank (where it was left after the disaster of February 2001) to the cleared area below - without lifting equipment. But there's nothing that can't be achieved with enough brute force and ignorance.
