Hangar 25, Causewayhead, Silloth Work today was a trip to Causewayhead, Silloth, to view the progress of a new tunnel composting system. A three hour discussion was required to make sure we were all aware how the validation should proceed.
I then managed a walk from Skinburnessbank down to Grune Point during my late lunch hour in bright sunshine but a very cool breeze.
