Round Loaf in the dark and New site

Winter wander 2 dawn recon or round loaf in the dark!!
Another post on the forum, this time by Foinavon Round Loaf in the dark thread
asking 'how long it would take to get up to Round Loaf Barrow? ( which is also an earthcache )
and as before on my post for a walk round anglezarke moor, it turned into a little meet, 8 of us met at Alance bridge on Anglezarke reservoir at 6am in the dark
and proceeded up lead mines valley and onto the moor, great fun.on the way up we found caches BMR2, Lead mines clough , where Dizzley managed to loose his GPS, and Raided, before wandering out onto the moor with dawn just colouring the grey skies above.

As we stood on Round Loaf it became fully light and we could see a fair way.
Returned cross country, hard going steping over the tussocks, via Grain Pole hill, Hurst Hill, Mini Pikestones and Lapwing Layer, where the group split.
Jungle Godess, Stora and Carlos came back to the cars with myself whilst Foinavon, His 2 muggle friends, Muttoneer and Dizzley, Headed back to lead mines valley to look for dizzley's gps, which they found.
back in car for 10am with 8 caches under the belt, can't wait for the next one.


New site First week

Started at a new site at Wakefield on Tuesday, The job is a concrete frame and drainage works to the new Hepworth Art Gallery.see link I have just found the webcam for the site as well http://www.hepworthwakefield.com/AboutUs/NewBuilding/hepcam.htm
maybe you will see me striding across site, then again maybe not.



I returned to site for my second day there on Thursday to fing the river had overtopped its banks and had flooded the basement piling mat to a depth of about 2.5m at which point it topped over the sheet piled wall and flowed back into the river, lets hope it doesn't happen too often, or we will be swimming. attach some photos before and during the flood taken on my phone, sorry for the poor quality as it was before 8am and wasnt fully light.
friday was spent trying to empty the water out and repair damage to the riverbank to try and stop the river flooding again at such a low height.
blurb from the architects web site -
the hepworth wakefield is a new art gallery designed by david chipperfield architects to replace the city of wakefield's existing gallery at their new site on the river calder. the new building will house the gallery's collection of european and british art along with an extensive collection of work by locally born artist barbara hepworth. the official groundbreaking for the new site will take place on december 7, 2007 on the city's historic waterfront. david chipperfield architects have consciously designed the building to blend in with the area's small-scale industrial buildings. because the site is visible from all sides, the building has been designed with no front or back, giving every viewpoint its own unique perspective.
Sat morning
lovely morning when i decided to climb out of my pit this morning and take the 2 geohounds for a run, the sun was shining and the towpath muddy, and i saw a Kingfisher streaking along low to the water away fom us, the blue on it's back was shining in the sunshine, a great sight, one which always puts a smile on my face.
