January 2025 Work Weekend
The weekend of 24th to 26th January was the second of the L&B's Winter working weekends. Our volunteers enjoyed the first two days of bright sunshine doing a number of tasks around the railway. Not to be outdone, Exmoor threw up some atrocious weather on the final day (Sunday) and a few hardy souls battled on to tidy up a few jobs that remained from the previous day.
The main efforts were directed towards the replacement of rail in a couple of locations where the condition of the existing rail has deteriorated. Additionally rail joint gaps were reset at various locations on the line.
A big thank you to all of the volunteers who travelled from near and far to help out. and provided their time and labour. We really couldn't do it with out them.
The next big working weekend will be 28th - 30th March 2025. Volunteers are always welcome - please contact Stuart at Woody Bay for more details.
