Pile of Scalpings and Hard CoreПереглядів: 138A day of rest. Constructing a solid path to the wild boar field, and putting a dry (drained) hard standing beneath the pig arcs.
|
|
The Path to the Pig ArcsПереглядів: 119The 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 ProgressПереглядів: 119In 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.

Almost a mini-canalПереглядів: 103As the ground is clay, we could almost use this groove (made by the construction equpment) as a small stream to take water to the pigs.

One of the two deep rutsПереглядів: 118This is one of the two deep ruts made by the construction equipment going back and forth into the second paddock, bringing hard core and scalpings for the "floor" of the wild boar pig arcs.

The "repaired" clay at Maggot's CroftПереглядів: 115In 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 StableПереглядів: 134This 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.
