Dunans Castle Clearance Continues in Kitchen & Library: More Images

The clearance of the back two compartments of the castle has taken much longer than the others, simply because they aren’t accessible by the minidigger and there’s not enough room for more than a couple of workers. Our luck continues with the floors, which are all concrete, making clearance much much easier than suspended floors.

If you want to help with castle or bridge we have two volunteer fortnights in May 2020 and September 2020 – available here.

Burning stumps: After a year of seasoning the remains of the larches, we decided it was time to clear them …

A quiet Sunday, lots of brash and some stumps. A great way to develop a proper thirst over the course of a day.

With bonfire expertise provided by the inimitable Bruce Allen and labour by myself we burned through three and made inroads into another three. By the end of the operation access into the woodland at the top of Dunans policies was properly enabled.

The pints of Highlander were especially welcome that evening. Now all I have to do is put in the culverts!
