Replacing & Moving bridges
Vandals hide a Bridge!
In August 2021, the bridge near the Bamboo went missing; We found it 20 metres away, hidden under a tree.
Relocated

Vandals Put Bridge into Pond!
Our group have spent many work parties building the dead hedge and clearing this pond of weed.
Dead Hedge and bridge
This photo showed the bridge [ built by the group] in use after a period of rain.
In May 2021, vandals destroyed the dead hedge, throwing the timber into the pond and also the bridge
Surveying the scene
In June 2021, we managed to rescue the bridge, but decided to insert a "French Drain" instead of a bridge.
The hidden "French Drain" installed.
This bridge at the foot of Swan had become'wobbly' and was beyond repair, so we planned to replace with the bridge from the pond - IF we could transport it.
Using 'Egyptian' techniques, we rolled the bridge to its new location
Amazingly we managed to move this heavy bridge all the way to its new location - to replace the wobbly bridge!
The 'pond' bridge being installed at foot of wood in lieu of wobbly bridge.
The Work party testing the weight-bearing properties of the bridge!
