What The Heck!!

Today at the office I thought what the heck. A trip up Honister was in order to replace the water heck near the cattle grid.

Looking down Honister Pass

We had a helping hand from the Forestry team to take the 20ft pole and the monster which was the heck, on their Forwarder. Just looking at the heck in the work shop you would think there were Bison living up on Honister.

The Heck in position

The first stage was to get the Forwarder in to position so that it could get the old pole out, and then get the new pole in to position. When the pole was in position and secure it was time to get the heck in to position.




We used two straps to hang it off the pole for a temporary measure.This helped us to make adjustments to the heck so that it will open properly and not get caught on the rocks that were in the beck.

 This also helped us to get our holes drilled in the pole for the pins to go through, and get our hangers in to position.  Once it was all lined up and in the correct position, the straps were removed.

  A good days work with our volunteers up on Honister with the weather on our side for once.
