New week, new machine.

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.
