3rd September 2017

10/9/2017

 
After a week's holiday of hiking up and down the hills of Brigsteer, Sawrey, Arnside and Silverdale, plus spending an all too short time at the start and end of one walk at the glorious RSPB Leighton Moss reserve, we returned to find that Cemex had been rather busy with both Fleet Hill farm and Manor Farm.

Highlights: Work begins on constructing new bridle path through Fleet Hill farm reserve.  Pretty much like the one that runs through the middle of Leighton Moss. We noticed that horse riders are already using this new bridleway.

The pump at Pump Station appears to have been turned on this week. The water levels are now very high. For whatever reason, Cemex need to pump out the water.

A minor amount of clean up around Stone Crusher point.

    A polite notice first: All photographs on this blog are owned by me and subject to copyright.

    Also, note that I have special permission to be on the Eversley quarry site of Fleet Hill farm, Manor farm and the Hampshire part, Chandlers farm. They are not open areas for general access.  Please keep to the public rights of way.

    I was quite fascinated to see how Cemex would restore their gravel extractions workings to become a nature reserve, and so started this blog.  There is an ulterior motive. It does mean that my partner and I get some well needed exercise as we stomp around the reserve every week.  Following the progress of the restorations does mean the walk is not as tedious as it might otherwise become.

    Don't worry about one of the archives being November 2025. You haven't entered a time warp! It's just that I've discovered a way to pin a post to the top of a blogger in Weebly; not straight forward apparently.  I have to set the date far far into the future.
