A small bunch of hopefuls turned up today hoping the forecast was
wrong. The cloud base was about 5-600ft and looked as if it might
improve so we put the winch in the southwest corner to service and check the
cables, and if the weather did improve we would at least have the winch
in place.
The left hand cable needed a new reel on it so a team got
to work, the right hand cable was also in poor condition with 12 joins in its
length and a lot of wear. We were going to change this also but it
looked if rain was on the way so we gave up on that idea and put the
winch away, hope for better weather next week.- JSt
