The Bank!

At Himley Hall again. The water level is being lowered by about 30cm (a foot)

So, the sailing club have decided to take advantage, and upgrade the bank and their landing areas

Here's the wood for the shuttering

 First, getting rid of the existing bank

Some of the old sleepers were fiendishly difficult to 

remove. This one took four people.

All the concrete needed smashing, and making into hard core

Progress was slow but steady. This section of bank has completely changed

The shuttering begins to take shape

None of this was here this morning

 Sawing the timber into the correct lengths

The low water level has made little sandy coves

Here's John, the warden, bringing helpful supplies. What a varied job. Last week, he was rescuing swans!
