Inert building north bridle path at pace like HS2. 26th September 2013

A brief warm spell envelopes south England. Possibility of more to come at week's end.

Dodging showers, I ventured to Manor farm. An idle digger, north of the Bailey bridge, heralded what could be a very, very slow build of the north bridle path. I realised the path was being built, as I spied a maxi dumper truck driving very slowly southward towards the yellow bridge.

Each round trip of the maxi dumper truck takes between 15 and 20 minutes; if not longer. The truck does not carry much ballast. I think the heavy earth movers carry three or four times as much. Hence, we are in for a very long build process.

I might pop down this weekend. Not sure. Another cold night is forecast for Friday/Saturday.
