Golden Oldies

Just thought I would look through the archives and find some old pics.

I found these 3 of the southern end just to see how much work has been done and things have changed. I think these were taken towards the beginning of 2008.

Keep on diggin.........

when the weathers fine you reach right up and touch the sky

Strolled down to the top of the tunnels at the southern end. You really get a perspective of how steep it is from Hazel Grove to the tunnel entrances.

Was lovely just sitting on a tree stump in the sun, listening to the radio on my phone and watching other people work haha

Keep on diggin.................

having a treemendous time with a pair of northern tunnels

Howdy folks.....

Went for a stroll to see if I could see what they were doing along the punchbowl as it was closed and decided to carry on to the northern end. Things are really starting to take shape and look like they will when the project is finished.

Also there is much more evidence of the trees they are clearing now along the punchbowl.

Also it was the most glorious day out there today, sunny and hot, perfect for a stroll in the woods.

Also I want to say hi to the 2 Balfour guys who were manning the stop post by the national trust cafe. Was a pleasure to meet you guys and cheers for the chat!

Keep on diggin..................

Took my little snotface down to the southern end today as she wanted to play in the woods for a little while so thought I'd take a few pics.

If you go across the hazel grove bridge and look towrds the tunnels, you can clearly see where the road is going to be. Also looks like they are getting ready to lay the main road itself.

Keep on diggin..............
