Fixing the Track - again

29 November 2015

The track is a bit of a caution at the moment, the Punto has to hug the upside of the track to avoid grounding out in the canyons carved out by the rain, so a day of fixing was required.  Dave made a couple of lime mixes, we loaded the car with rocks and mortar and set off.

 These are our monster cypress trees.  They are visible from space (on Google maps, anyway). 

 At the start of the track, this is the sheep crossing, and that black pipe strung up in the trees is our water supply.  The Sheep Man has been looking after us!

 Crocuses - in Winter.  The weather is ridiculously warm and sunny, and the flowers are confused.

 This is our solar array, late November, under the shadow of the cypress trees - reduced battery power and limited hot water.  The cypress are going to have to go, to clear the way for our food forest and improve our winter solar capture.

 And the track repair, the largest one.  The lime will set in a few days, we'll have to stay in and hope we get no visitors!
