Hedgerow cleared and footpath widened. 23rd July 2017

14/8/2017

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.

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.
