Leyburn Loop Work - The blue pipe will connect the water tower to the water crane to be located at the end of the existing platform. The water tower will be opposite and located on a shelf in the north cess (to the right in this photo). Creating the shelf was particularly challenging as the rock is a very hard sandstone. Photos show Colin Brown (left), Stigo Parker (digger) and David Harrison (centre). (--/12/2017)
