Ridge gone. Pump and diesel tank 'removed'. Inert start work at 7:30a.m Pt 1. 24th September 2022

24/9/2022

 
First the bad news. Loony Liz (Truss) and crazy Kwarteng concoct a car crash mini-budget. Even I, a non-finance expert, am staggered at the barmy, unfriendly policies they have devised that do nothing more than pad the pockets of the rich. The only beneficiaries are over paid under worked bankers.  Yeah, like banking will generate growth.

The loony lady has removed environmental planning controls, and has abolished government space and science committees!!!!!  This nutty woman does not realise that the future industrials are science, technology and space.  With that Victorian buffoon, Rees-bog, wanting to being back imperial measurements, I can see the whole useless lot promoting steam engines to be the future of UK business. Sheesh!

Anyway, back to our program and the excellent progress maintained by Inert.

As the headline says, the ridge is no longer.  I did figure, having visited the site on Wednesday, that Inert would complete demolition of the ridge. Sure enough, my Saturday morning visit revealed that it is no longer. In fact, Inert had started into the eastern North embankment, and continued to do so on Saturday.  Yep, the boys started work at 7:30am, when two diggers and two heavy earth movers rumbled in a slow and stately manor across the bailey bridge.

I was actually making my way towards the bailey bridge when I heard a heavy earth mover on Chandlers farm!!! I darted across the south vehicle track and into the hedge row alongside the south (aka Blackwater) footpath. Then I popped along said footpath to the bailey bridge to witness the stately parade. My god are the heavy earth movers huge!

    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.
