Lossie Light and Swiss Visitors.

Post by onemac » Sat Nov 17, 2018 12:02 pm

Having missed their arrival and subsequent few days I managed a trip down to the new fence. These you will have seen before but hopefully over the next few weeks I'll get some different locations.

Great set of pics Al, in some nice light. I'm hoping to get up there this week to experience these new fences.

Nice photos Al, I've missed your photos reports of late.

Looks like the new fence hasn't encroached too much, or has it?

Most taken on the small steps Scott. The new wooden fence is slightly higher than the old one but that was too high for me in most places anyway :whistle: New high fence from the road to 202 corner is at least a foot higher than the old one but no idea if they are replacing all the old metal fencing or not but little chance of shooting through the new one :unsure:

Nice selection Al. Think we will have to carry set of steps on a regular basis especially at 10 and 05 ends.

Nigh impossible with the 4 section 'A' frame type ladders we all have. Niall has invested in a taller set of ladders so that tells you something ;) I, however, am on the lookout for a second hand cherry picker.......
