The Track Layout
After careful consideration and surveying a 'dog bone' circuit was decided upon with a yard area housing storage buildings, turntable etc.
The digging commences to create a 'yard area'. Approx 200 cu.m of soil and rock to be removed. Most of the spoil will be reused to create a 1:50 incline some 50 metres long to the lower level. It was to take over a year to get this part of the project completed!
The yard area would have to be excavated by approximately 1 metre, the spoil being used to create an incline to the lower level where the almond trees grow.
During March 2007 the incline nears completion, however heavy rain at the end of March means a wait of severalweeks before it is dry enough to go back on site as the soil is very heavy clay. The corrogated steel buildings to the left are the stables belonging to a neighbour. I plan to screen these from view with trees eventually.
