Our first workday inside the Redoubt is this Sunday. All welcome, meet at 10:30 Drop Redoubt approach road. Now the bats are out of hibernation, we'll be back in the fort. This month we'll be mainly preparing the cookhouse for the rennovation work partly paid for by the Grand Shaft Climb and some other bits and pieces depending on how many volunteers we have.

I checked this eve Howard. Much of the rubbish has gone, at least the most visible pile on the road side of the fence. There is still a lot of tiles hidden under scrub and on the other side of the fence. I'd say a 50% job done.

Did you contact waste services Phil, thanking them for what they'd done but pointing out that only half the job has been done and where the rest needs picking up from ?
I would suspect that they put in a request for Veolia to collect it, but they (Veolia) didn't bother picking up all of it because they didn't look enough, just collected the obvious.

I think I have a solution to that. The other day a customer asked if he could have some of the pile of slates I keep out the back for occasional roof repairs, as he had a lot of timber to stack and wanted to use old slates as packing to ensure air circulation through the pile. O No, I said, they are valuable period slates, but if you just need them for packing purposes, I know where there is a nice big pile of broken ones........

on the right track sarah, keep walking up after the kingdom hall.
a bit steep though - you know when you are there, the main landmark is the discarded builders stuff.

Travel up Military Hill and through the cutting. You'll see moat walls cut through the cutting. Near the top there is a sharp turn to the left which is the approach road. There should be a few dubious types (us) lurking about by parked cars, mostly with hangovers. Hope you can make it!
