March 2024;
While dismantling the part of the loop across the shed doors on the right side, looking from the shed a sewerage access hole was discovered right where a new post was going to go.
If I continued straight ahead the benchwork would have covered it and if access was needed the benchwork would have to be removed.
After
contacting the local council engineering department it was deemed that a
the realignment of the benchwork was needed so it did not cover the
access hole. They booked a job to come out to adjust its height so it is at
ground level.
The upshot of this is that the lower bench in the shed will have to be longer which will give extra track length so it is not all bad.

The
work on the access hole height has now been completed the council
people were very obliging and fast tracked it for me but it still took a
while as they had higher priorities and are short staffed.
An unseasonable wet weather spell caused a cancellation of the first attempt and it had to refitted into their schedule again which caused a bit of a delay.
The access hole is now clear of the benchwork and if it has to be accessed it will not require dismantling so new benchwork can now be built.
