A while since I last posted.
In the spring we did quite a bit of work on the track from the village up to the Reinigeadal/Urgha track. It seems according to map evidence to be later in construction than the Reinigeadal track - about the early 1900's. It was apparently maintained by the local authority until about the early 1960's. The main need at the outset is to get the blocked drains and culverts running again to let the track dry out. Much of the drainage needed has now been done and there is already a great improvement to be seen.
The photo shows the team toiling up the hill in sleet and snow.
The other photo is an interesting bird's eye view of the village taken this summer.
