    Personally.... I think you will need to wait & see what us volunteers done on Sunday after I took that photo.....we were assisting the company gang after they left off late on Friday, that was a temporary joint for ECS & our RRV to be able to carry on taking out the next 2 panels, ready for putting down more concretes & expansion joint.....photos may follow ?

    Unless I've missed it within all the party political broadcasts and my #### is bigger than yours etc comments, it appears the agreement with 44422 has ended somewhat prematurely and it's returned to Churnet Valley.

    Pretty sure the termination of the agreement was announced months and months ago. The "news" is that it is now known that it is going back to the CVR (and indeed it now has).

    YES! I am continually amazed at the enormous Volunteer effort expended on the WSR in this & all the other areas.

    Moderator Note

    A set of recent posts have been removed. These comment directly or indirectly on the actions and perceived behaviour of the chairman of the plc. This thread is about operational matters on the WSR and not individuals. Personal comments about individuals contravene Forum Rules.

    If anyone has a complaint or a view about individual people associated with the WSR then they should use WSR communication channels to make their view known and not use Nat Pres.

    Any further comments of this ilk will result in action against those who so post.

    I was a couple of miles from Huntworth where it was centred. The sound was a bit like a muffled explosion rather than a full-on quake. The windows rattled a bit but that was it.
