I dropped by the field to look at where the work had progressed to today to find Steve, Chris and Jason busy filling the low points and checking the strip level with a theodilite.
We paced out and disscussed the most practical corners of the upgrade and will be meeting again tomorrow at 3.30pm with mowers ready to complete the trim. Any one else who can bring along a mower would be appreciated.
Chris dropped 1 ton of good quality topsoil down, which was spred and leveled to start filling the low areas on the edge of the new strip, the soil Chris was going to get was rubbish so we had to pay a bit more for a good soil/sandmix.
We are planning dropping another ton tomorrow afternoon.
The mowing we will be doing tomorrow is to give us a workable runway. If the committee is not happy(but I am sure they will be) we can simply be let to regrow so it is nothing that cant be undone if we choose to make a few mods.
The most posative thing is that with a few modifications to the parking area and pit extremities we should be up and flying again in no time.
If the rain will piss off there is no reason why we cant fly this weekend.
