Eldon Hole - East / West ground anchors

[Pete K]

Eldon Hole bollards take 2 - Sunday the 28th Feb.
I hope to find enough volunteers and a 4x4 to make another stab at finishing the job on this date. The DCA would be immensely grateful for assistance to get this job complete, after that week there might be a significant delay in installing the new anchors.
We will be digging 3 new holes in the soft soil and then mixing and pouring concrete to set the new bollards. A half dozen will make light work of it. The key to it all is a 4x4 with off-road tyres (NOT road tyres). The mud clogs the tread up before you even leave the lane and I'm not carrying cement bags up to the hole again!
Can you help?

Pete,

I should be free that day and experience at Titan this weekend is that my tyres are better than Moose's. If it's really wet I can bring my tracked dumper.

Hi Nick, I was just about to email you about that. If you're free that would be brilliant, I doubt manpower will be an issue but getting the stuff to the hole was likely to be the crux.

Hold on everyone, cancel the 28th Feb as it looks like we have a new plan now.

The new ground anchors are still not installed on the East & West route but the DCA is moving towards completing this job. I'll keep updating the thread as we know more. Thanks for your patience, it will be worth it in the end.
