The Path-works Continue

Tuesday, July 31st 2018

After putting the finishing touches to the aggregate top up carried out yesterday on the perimeter steps we soon cracked on with the path above the steps while the volunteer numbers remained on the up.

First of all it is key to remove all vegetation and soil encroachment into the aggregate before roughing up the surface as the new base layer.

Once the base layer is ready you're ready to rake out the topping and give it a couple of go-overs with the Whacker Plate.

By making sure to sort out any lumps and bumps, and ensuring that there's a good camber the path should be complete…for another couple of years or so.
