Last month, the main working areas were Phase 2 (joining the summer section) and the Waen Wen area in Ponda. Once again, a handful of volunteers participated in a work party on Thursday, which deals with various work, especially for cutting the brush in Waen Wen, by recently pumping a stage1b and restoring banks there before the wind conditions that made seed sowing impossible.
Waen Wen’s work continued last month. The country here is clearly very fruitful, which indicate thickness and lush growth thick, such as the reed above. However, by the end of the work celebration, we had reached the fence at the remote end, where the channel meets the grazed field and the sheep keep it clear. This southern border is 600 meters from Pant Bridge. Now 410 meters have now been cleaned. If the conditions were appropriate, the material resulting was burned in the pool, but most were stacked neatly when searching for banks later. Contractors remove the large trees of the channel. The Waen Wen’s catchment area is extensive and is the next winding hole outside the current navigation of the Crickheath pool.
At the same time, the profiling of the channel for its final dimensions could begin to follow the last clearance and the site tape. But first, the temporary clay separation phase was removed from 2 manufacturing from step 1b. The original wait was that the Phase 1B supplement water test and login would be performed as soon as it was complete, but the extreme need to save water this year ended the plan. Instead, this graduation test is performed for the combined phase 1B and 2 parts. As 1B stays in the water until then, there was no need for the dam. But the waterproof channel holds water in its design and so it rains that it is filled and without a dam, the water passes to the current work area.
To prevent this, a mini clay pack has been preserved, where the clay dam was located, the water level of 1B has decreased by pumping on Thursday 1A. A gap between the parties of the work is left in the Bund to allow water to move from 1B to step 2, where it flows into an uneducated country. Just before the next work parties, the opening will hopefully be closed to prevent water for a business trip. This bouquet is removed and the narrow gap used is lined and prevented at the end of phase 2. It sounds ingenious; How effective is just time to show.
Storm Amy brought the weather was a challenge, not only plant work in muddy conditions, but also for volunteers who do not have the luxury to work inside the dug cabin. A prolonged lunch break was taken on Friday during a particularly heavy lower room. Fortunately, the rain was relaxed in the afternoon, even though it remained a gust. The conditions were equally challenging on Saturday as the guided tour of society members and a group of other prestigious restoration volunteers from the Bugsworth Basi Heritage Trust series are protected under the school bridge. Here they used the opportunity to hand over £ 200 to restoration. On Saturday, we were completely paid for £ 300, for which we are very grateful.
Finally, you have to give a special word to Chris Rogerson, who has produced a banner for combination and other advertising boards along the towing team.
