This shows That Crt can get their act together and hopefully do a job that will last.

The photos are excellent .

I am hoping to get a look at Marple on Sunday 28th Nov when they have the open day.

They just started today sunday 23rd I guess it will take at least a month to work through the tunnel doing the brickwork. 500m is a long way brick by brick. They just cleaned the outside of the Aqueduct by absailing up and down it.

I hope he's tied onto a bit more than that handrail! It looks like the hand rail might just be a safety line but I don't think I would trust my life ti it!

I thought abseiling was just a means of getting from the top to the bottom of a structure quickly and relatively safely, I didn't know it had cleansing properties.

You learn something new everyday!

They have a big can of mr muscle and strap jiffy cloths to their feet.

Are CRT doing an 'open day' for the public?

 

They often do when one of these projects come up

I'm pretty sure that they are.

 

It will be on their website somewhere.

 

ETA: Hmmm. perhaps I am mistaken, I can't find anything on their website.

 

Nice pictures by the way.

They don't like being referred to as "Dopes on ropes" guess how I know
