Normal service resumes. 23rd September 2017

What a difference a little bit of sunlight makes.

Cemex do not appear to have done a massive amount around the new channel at the culvert since Wednesday. The dumper truck has been rescued from its embarrassing encounter with a ditch - though the ditch does appear to be the course of the Colebrook. A little amount of landscaping has been done, and top soil has been spread about the site.

The pump at the pump station has been switched off. Although this has thwarted my aim to photograph the out flow into the Blackwater river, it has confirmed my suspicions about where the out flow was located.

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.
