Spectacular progress in upfill/infill of Comorant lake (north) despite rains. 31st October 2021

31/10/2021

 
Well, despite what the Met office and BBC weather forecasters predicted, our British weather had its own ideas about what to do. Yep, you guessed, yet more rain, some quite heavy, fell, in what has been a very, very wet year.

Inert et al have ploughed on, aided and abetted by their land bridges. They have made, what I think is, spectacular progress on the dual infill and upfill of Cormorant lake (north). At this rate, I reckon another three weeks and the lake should have disappeared.

Inert do not even have to transport stuff over to the lake to complete the fill. They only need to dig out the lake that is supposed to sit just south of Cormorant lake (north), and use spoil from that; rather than hauling stuff over from either Chandlers farm or the pump station spoil heap.

Once Cormorant lake (north) is filled, there is the matter of the remainder of Cormorant lake (south) to infill, and the new, longer, mightier Manor lake (south)  to dig out; plus the frilly bits of landscaping, etc.

Are we going to get a dry November? Well, apart from a deluge today, the first week of November appears to be set dry. Then the rains return next weekend. Only, the Met office and Beeb seem to get it so wrong.

    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.
