Elm Road Revisited

On Wednesday, March 3rd, in preperation for this Sunday's Sponsored Walk, the mid week group visited March Elm Road, and tasked themselves with giving the fencing a coat of Gloss paint.

Now, on the right hand side you can see a shed. Someone was very curious as to what might be in that shed, so, as the Ivy was blocking the door, they decided to kick a hole in the wall!

All that to find an old chair, obviously, nothing of interest. So managed to locate 2 of the 3 panels, and fill the hole in. It would have been far eaiser just to move the Ivy, but nevermind.

Now, one of the team decided to paint the gradient marker white, and will paint in the letters in black later. The only photo I can find of it before, was back in July 2009 as shown below on the very left of the picture:

Now today, it is shown below after being painted.

It certainly makes it stand out a bit better.

This Sunday is the Sponsored Walk, so there will be no major work going on. We are hoping to raise as much money as possible, and if you have not already, please get in touch to sponsor us. We will be meeting at Weasenham Lane Level Crossing at 10am, aiming to set off at 10.30am.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THOSE MEMBERS DOING THE WALK

Please note the railway is a dangerous place. To take part in the walk, you must be a paid member of the Bramley Line. Everyone doing the walk must wear Orange Hi-Vis Vests, in most cases, we can supply these. Please bring with you Bottled Water as you may need it.

Anyone who the organiser believes to be under the infulence of Alcohol or Drugs will be turned away and will not be able to do the walk.

It is very easy to trip up and there are many hazards. Please wear appropriate footwear.  When walking, please do not walk on the sleepers as these are very slippery. Try to walk on the stone ballast. The line has been cleared of the majority of brambles, however, some do still remain.

Everyone doing the walk must stick together. There will be a break at Waldersea.

Weather Permitting, a Members BBQ will take place at Elm Road at the end of the walk.
