October 2007 -- One of three Tuesdays spent near Doulting putting in a series of kissing gates at the request of the local school

The situation before works starts

Stage one is to put in the king pin and hang the gate on it

Stage two is to construct the opening around the gate

Our work party is now sufficiently large for several teams to work at once. Rick and Ken are doing this kissing gate

While Bob, Mike and Colin are working on this one across the ditch

Bob has joined the other team as the opening is nearing completion

Bob's aim is true -- or so Rick hopes!

A rickety gait?

Mike and Ken enjoying lunch

Time to start on another double kissing gate. Dave, Gus and Bryn discuss positioning

Here's work in progress

Bob and Gus have now finished

Colin is on the level when he says we aren't always upright citizens

Just the bars to do now

 

And here's the finished article
