January & February 2010 Working Weelends

January 2010

The January working weekend was called off at the last minute because it was minus 13c at Llanuwchllyn - makes the ground a bit too hard for even seasoned BLRS volunteers to get the pick or shovel into!!!

Also the water was "off", the euphamism used when the pipes are all frozen solid - so dim dwr, dim panad, dim gwirfoddolwyr!!

February 2010

The weekend was a success - 80 sleepers changed and yet more bush's whacked, hopefully stopping the trees and bushes encroaching too far onto the running line and opening up some more views for the travellers to view the amazing scenes through.

Why don't you come along to the next weekend 13-14 March and join in - the work is hard but the sense of achievement is superb!!

Translation: no water, no cuppa's, no volunteers!!! As the meercat with a lisp says - simple!
