The main task for the weekend was to provide safety rails and to improve the ladders to the upper tier bunks. Everyone had a hand or a foot or just sixpenny-worth in the project with a successful result to the satisfaction of all. So now you would be able to tie up your horse if pets were allowed in the hut. Perhaps some darker varnish will be needed.

Plenty of cleaning was done in various rooms large and small. Appliances such as the vacuum cleaner and dehumidifier were stripped down and fettled whilst all other equipment and devices were checked for satisfactory operation.

Iain provided us with an appetising lunch.

Outside, John continued his road improvements and the excess mortar was removed from the car park wall.

Inspections were carried out both internal and external to determine any problems.

All this effort left the hut in a splendid condition, so come on down and get it used!

In the meantime, Duncan and Scott did some climbing in the reasonable weather of Saturday afternoon, whilst Bob, Alan, Dave, Chris and Iain managed to miss the worst of the rain by taking short walks on Sunday morning. The rain gods were at their best later and we left Wales through the deluge when a more appropriate form of transport home would have been by speed boat.

This will be run as working on Saturday, climbing on Sunday basis.

Please let either Iain or myself know if you intend coming for catering purposes.
