Ah, Cromford/Sheep Pasture incline. The location of one of the most useless gradient posts in Britain. The change from 1in 8 to 1 in 9 wasn't really noticed by crews!
 
Glad to see the groundworks happening! I am looking forward to seeing ths develop. Maybe the great ape of wetton gooey may be seen again before too long....

Well, funny you should say that Mike. You may remember that the most hard work of all this project was helping my mate from the council to remove the Russian Vine that used to grow in the embankment behind the fence. This had to be done before the fence was replaced otherwise the horrible flaming thing would grow through it like it did with the old fence. Although the council agreed to take all the cuttings away (SIX bin lorry's full!!!!!!!!) it turns out that no-one actually owns that embankment (down to another road), it was technically owned by the builder of the houses, but he's long gone - as is his business. So I've been told that if I tend to it for a couple of years, I could take it over. The only thing is, it's about 7 or 8 feet down from my garden level. Getting it to the same level would entail having a new wall built and the whole lot filled in - which would cost a small fortune. But there may be alternatives which I can contemplate in the years to come. All a question of whether the cost would be worth it really.
 
well there is always the viaduct or tressel bridge (ruddy big ones).
but they would be impressive mel.

lots of large scale engineers on here you know.:bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile:

My thoughts exactly.

Build a bl***y big platform across the back using good strong posts sunk into concrete or metposts . Attach new fencing to the posts and depending on the height of the platform....viaducts, hills etc. Ooooo yes I can see it now....... Go on...you know you want to!
 
Mel keep it tendered and put it to some use in other words make people think it is yours in a way that makes others believe it is but doesnt upset anyone... as long as no one else uses it or says anything for 12 years you can claim it as yours There are thousends of patches of land in this country like that.. but you must prove excusive use for 12 years

Like I say chaps, it's all a question of how much it would cost vs what we'd gain from it. One other issue would be that I know for a fact that a water main runs under the edge of the bank which may well preclude sinking footings for a wall or posts for a platform and reduce the useful area even further. These things are seldom as simple as they seem at first glance.
