The Path to the Pig Arcs119 viewsThe hard core has been put beneath the pig arcs (in the distance) but needs to be compacted on Monday. The last part to be finished is the hard core road from the stable yard (where this was photographed) to the pig arcs.

A Work In Progress119 viewsIn the first paddock at Maggot's Croft. The path that's being built is straight ahead. The large groove on the right was made by the construction equipment going back and forth through the paddock.

The "repaired" clay at Maggot's Croft115 viewsIn the second paddock. The construction of the hard core made quite a mess, but the construction team made quite an effort to smooth out the clay. It looks a bit like a lava flow in Hawaii.

Alpacas in the Stable134 viewsThis was just too small for Lord Rannoch, so we moved him back to the upper barn and moved the two alpacas into the stable block --- where they also have the run of the stable yard.
