Eldon Hole Anchors

The defunct anchors at the top of Eldon Hole have now all been replaced by Dan Hibberts & co., following consultations with Bob Dearman and Pete Knight.  The original anchors had rotted and were removed by being given a hefty kick, so constructing suitable long-lasting replacements has taken some time and thought.

The new anchors are 25mm dia. x 1m depth and are fixed with grout. This should take a few days to completely set but should be usable within the next 24 hours. Even if there was no grout in the hole it is almost certain that the anchor would be OK because of the leverage involved.

So all the anchors at the top of Eldon Hole are once more in place and solid.  Many thanks to all those involved in completing this job on behalf of DCA.

Are there any photos yet? Are they essentially ground anchors as before, so it's just a loop of rope over the top?

They are massive threaded rod with big eye nut on the end. You could sling them or tie to the eye. 1 on the East side to pair with the new bollard installed last year and 2 on the West.
