Volunteer work day today,Western Heights behind Aycliffe.

I have heard, that the stairs,leading up from the new foot bridge, to the A20 public footpath we're not in the 39.5 million remit to be renewed or repaired.

AN accumulation of events leading to delays,then time, otherwise, if it had been a complete hassle free install, the 3 stair sections would have been fitted.

I tend not to wear that type of thermal underwear, these day's.
