Another week, another machine on the pista doing the next stage of the work. This time it's a motor grader and just in case you've never seen one it is like a stretched version of a digger, with 4 back wheels, 2 front wheels and blades for levelling and putting a gradient on the road. It is also, very cleverly, able to tilt the blade up and out to smooth the surface of the banks that come down to the pista. I think the one working here has 2 blades - must be a different model to this photo.

No, this is not our new pista! |
It - or rather the driver - also seems to be making the V- shape for drainage gullies and there has been a delivery of bendy piping for draining the rain water under the new road.
The weather forecast has a slim chance of rain over the next 24 hours - it says 0.1mm per hour possibly up to 0.6mm but hopefully that won't affect their work.
