Going down

The Deep. This is the newly excavated hole for the rainwater harvesting tank. Its depth can be judged by the height of six-foot Scott Johnson standing in front of the digger. Tomorrow we shall 'plant' the tank.

Whilst the 13 tonne digger was here we decided to open up the driveway onto the station approach road. All would have been well with that idea until we did a precautionary CAT scan and detected what sounded like a power supply, pretty near the surface of the grassy bank. By coincidence Electricity Northwest were due to connect the towers new power supply today. They repeated the CAT scan and confirmed our findings. The power supply to Settle Station does not go up the station drive as is shown on the official plans (below). It runs along the line of our temporary red plastic fence. The power cable is higher than the station drive so our gateway plans are on hold until the cable can be lowered and properly protected.

Cartographical inexactitude.   The red line of Settle Station's power cable is shown as being under the tarmac of the station drive.   But it isn't.
