New Tracks

Recent improvements have been made to the roads and tracks that are welcomed by all regular users of Holton Lee facilities after years of negotiating the dreadful potholes on the mile long drive and the short road down to the stables from the Barn. The drive received excellent resurfacing with a good layer of tarmac on top a layer of road planings which should last a considerable number of years.

The short unmetalled stretch of road down to the stables has been resurfaced with a good layer of stone and now provides a smooth drive for both cars and the carriages. The ditches have been cleared and all looks very tidy.

On top of that maintence job, the contractors have created a gravel track in the woods behind the Camp field which will add another route adding to the variety for our carriage drives when the path has settled. We have had a long dry spell which makes it very difficult to compact adequately even using a heavy vibrating roller.
