Hi Chris
I did quite a bit of mowing yesterday but could only do a small area at the eastern end of the strip as the rest is still way to wet. Especially for a trailer.
I did a really thourough inspection of the strip yesterday and the motor cycle ruts have been blended in quite a bit by the additional rain. The biggest issue I think we face is that the low points on the strip have been made considerably deeper by the last few months of rain so much so that they are visually deep holes on the runway and will need a lot of fill, I'm guessing at least 4 or 5 tons to fill them in and make the strip flat. The problem with that is if we do dump and level that much soil it will be at least 200 mm thick in places and the only way to keep that from being washed away is to lay turf over the top.
One of the guys suggested seeding it, but once again any decent rain will wash that away.
Just pointing out observations I made, the committee will need to discuss our actions further but as I previously mentioned the majority of the strip is still to wet to mow and has a few huge, and I mean huge puddles that are still holding a lot of water and are 100mm deep or more.
