Hedgerow cleared and footpath widened. 23rd July 2017

Big surprises this week.

Firstly Stone crusher is now naked!  It's outer casing has been removed revealing it's innards.  You can see that gravel material and stones are loaded into the hopper.  They are possibly crushed to make them smaller. And then they land on the conveyor belt for transport under Longwater road.

Secondly, dramatic changes around the kissing gate. We were always forced right at this point along a narrow footpath due to a hedgerow on our left.  Cemex have widened the footpath and removed the hedgerow, so giving access to what I have been calling lower lake. Plus a new lake I have christened Swan Lake, due to the solitary swan that used to inhabit it.
