They will then be able to carry out a full assessment with our structural engineer on site. Once this assessment is completed, we will know the full extent of the damage caused and be able to plan what repair works are needed and estimate a possible date of completion. We will then update our website on Friday, with our plan of action. We apologise that we can’t be more precise at this time, and appreciate our customers continued patience.

Once this assessment has been completed, we will be able to update our website with a time scale of when the repair works will be completed.

Momac Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Just have to decide now whether to go up that way , burning fuel against the flow on the way up but hardy anything for the return . Or perhaps down the other way , probably go anytime due to plenty of fresh on . But in any case going nowhere until Sunday due to the ongoing foul weather forecast.
