Slave gang on the drive

A few weeks ago several extreme rain storms caused a lot of damage to the drive. It has been slowly getting a bit bumpy, but this was the final straw for it.
Doug has been slaving away to get it back in to a decent state as it is a DISASTER if it falls down the hill - we won't be able to get home!
First up was digging out the ditch, then putting in a drain before the corner. He is now busy putting several tonnes of gravel in the wheel ruts where it had been washed away, after that he will put further drains down the main part of the drive.
It is a LOT of work.

Beeeaauutiful ditch

Painting the drains with hammerite

First drain in before the corner draining in to the lovely ditch

New gravel, this is just a tiny tiny fraction of what has gone down
