Last weekend was the first track walk from Gobowen to Llynclys with stops for train rides and food. A good group of two legged and four legged walkers set off with the guide and along the route the history and future plans were explained. Perhaps next time we should issue gardening equipment so that errant bushes could be trimmed along the way. The weather was very pleasant for the walk and the event may be repeated again to view progress.
Along the way there was fresh ballast seen that has been laid south of Black Meadow Crossing as part of the work to bring the extension to the cattle creep into operation. Thanks to CHR for the following picture of the works train.
At Weston the ongoing station works were viewed. Down at Llynclys the plans are for the next two weekends to tackle the lineside vegetation. Norman and the crew would welcome support if you want to come and join up.
There is lots going on behind the scenes with paperwork, management and organising events. Even if you can't offer physical help we can always find a way for you to assist the project.
The events team are busy with Halloween and the Santa Specials. Come along if you can or spread the word. These are very important events to CHR as they help us through the closed season. There may even be a few surprises along the way.
We will keep updating the blog on at least a weekly basis, do keep checking back and don't forget the website where you can sign up to the monthly newsletter.
Until next time.
