Work in Progress - Thursday 12th March

It was a very wet, misty, and damp day at Woody Bay today for the Thursday Track Gang but the task on offer was actually indoor tracklaying! With the completion of the shed extension, and the digging out of the trackbed there, the job of laying the track linking up the existing track in the shed with that of the 'Lynton siding' in the cutting was able to be completed today almost completely inside the shed.

1 Connecting the rails from just outside the new shed extension

2 Seen from the spoil wagon the completed shed extension's size is evident

3. Lifting the last rail length into position

4. Cutting the rail to fit the gap

5. Packing the track to level

6 Dogs Sam & Fred were joined today by a suitably dressed Molly, helping with the packing

Next weeks task with the Thursday Group will be the dismantling and removal of the two Portakabin former toilets now required to be disposed off site as soon as possible. All help welcome with this important task.
Free tea and coffee will be provided for all volunteers.........
