Stephen had produced a short section of the new fencing, which was tested in-situ. It was initially 'approved', but subsequently, we decided a third rail, in the middle, was safer for the retention of smaller livestock e.g. calves.
The rest of the session was mainly occupied with the production of more fencing materials and then painting them; firstly in a light brown and then with a light grey, to achieve a weathered effect.
It occurred to us that the new fence provided a safety barrier on the 'cliff' edge, but the footpath in front of the cottages was possibly just as dangerous. After examination, it was decided that a short section of some sort of fence at the top might be in order. TBA.
Finally, a 'spare' metal water trough kit was assembled that will go into the field near the stile.
We can't remember where the hiker came from and would like to give him a walking-mate, preferably female. Geoff will continue to research available figures. Apart from white metal, there is a growing supply of 3D printed figures, but they can be expensive. The search goes on.
