Starting Phase Two
Will be the area to the right and Phase Three to the left of Phase One Photo #1. Suitable tiles* not used in Phase I and those which arrive from 2002 onwards will be laid in Phases II and III.

Only tiles which are judged safe to walk on in wet weather and are non-slip will be used on The Path, which over 10,000 people walk across per year.

A month of hard labour
During November 2000, Eckhard Kaiser dug out the whole area designated for Phase II on his own, shifting 10 cubic metres of earth and mud with a bucket and spade, in very wet and windy conditions. He then put in a layer of pebbles down by hand and added steel reinforcement Photo #2

Weather worries
Poor weather continued to be a worry.  Would there be a day dry enough? Then it was decided to "go for it" and 2 m³ of concrete were delivered and laid on a very windy, overcast day… Photos #3, #4, #5 Because the weather deteriorated with frost & snow all through December 2000, further work was delayed until January...

Work continues
A brief period of calmer weather allows adding a two-inch fine concrete screed to the base. A dawn start on Wednesday 17th. Jan., a bright, sunny, but very cold morning. Photos #6, 7, 8 All goes to plan except for the driver swallowing a lit roll-up! Not something he will forget doing.

Levelling off
Work to disperse and level the cement continues throughout a lovely sunny day and as the shadow's lengthen, so the base for Phase Two is completed Photos #9-10-11

But unlike Phase One, this time there is too much concrete! What to do? Over a hundred plastic grocery bags are "recycled" Photo #12 by shovelling the excess concrete into them and then taking them to fill large pot-holes in the farm track leading to the home of a local artist.
