Low cloud and murk awaited the staunchest of the Wednesday regulars.
First off, the squealing steering pump drive belt, on the Disco, and that which propels the alternator were adjusted and silenced. We then looked at the winch dragbrakes and having established that both sets of pads were in good order. Chairman Nick and others formed the view that their lack of performance on Saturday may well have been caused by the extreme cold impacting on the performance of the gas struts which operate the brakes. Time will tell.....

Nick then suggested we try erecting a post on the trailer store to test a modification and refinement to an attachment on his digger which he has been working on and enables the posts to be picked up, carried and lowered whilst being securely held at all times. The hardier Wednesday members went forth and the process worked well, sufficiently so that we then did another 5!
So 9 main posts are now in place and 8 intermediates, leaving 16 more, yet to be erected.
The murk closed in and rain arrived pretty well on schedule but a great effort, thank you to all who helped. - Peter Smith
