The work begins...

Work began last week on the improvements to the spillway at Doe Park Reservoir. The clubhouse is now the site office and the site is completely closed with a fence blocking the carpark entrance.


Heavy construction vehicles have now been moved onto the site along with piles of rubble .


Down by the spillway, there is a digger at work. Rubble has been used to make a hard surface on which the digger can work.

Other members of DSC were at Doe Park yesterday; here is Barbara in her new role as blackberrying secretary. Steve D. and Lesley were also about; Lesley taking photos for a scrapbooking project about the reservoir.

Ironically the water level has risen (compare this picture with the last weekend in July) to the point where we could probably be sailing if the place were not full of diggers, trucks and rollers!

For those who are sailing elsewhere, here's a reminder of how lovely our reservoir can be.
