Restoration - Week 19

In between trips up and down to London I still managed to get another 10 hours graft done this week on the Queens Park End of the ground. Lots of heavy duty spadework this week to clear along 5 more full terrace steps in this section and then wire brushed another 2 x 1/3 terraces and filled in with red

blaes. Already having to weed this section I have just finished and such a struggle to stay on top of this during this surprisingly beautiful summer we are having! Not complaining though as it is indeed a very pleasant park to be working away in the sunshine. As you can see from these photos, the

difference is incredible and am still on-track to get most of this terracing section cleared and cleaned by the end of July, weather & work - permitting that is! Also made more inroads into revamping the running track in the East End of Cathkin, hard graft and hellish tree roots here having ruined what was once a decent track. Removed lots of growth, roots and the uneven surface in 8ft x 2ft sections

but as you can see, still a long long way to go before the track is cleared, levelled and the pitch wall repaired and repainted behind it. This is a very much unloved part of the old ground and with another 6 weeks work we reckon it will be once again safe for visitors and park users once again to enjoy.

And having a decent running track will really improve the ground as a facility and I for one can't wait to get charging round the track again! A good week's work & more tangible results...Onwards !
