Seems they started the renovations at Ashton Court this week 😀

Just wondering how extensive the "rolling closures" are if anyone has been there already today? About to head out, but they are working on the quarry section, which is my favourite bit. Just need some warning to steel myself if I can't do any of it before it changes forever...

Doh, how did I manage to miss that?

Had already subscribed to the feed (had to download an app and everything!) Its a bit low on detail though - was wondering how large each section closure would be, how long they need before it gets reopened etc...

I think they have started on upper/lower quarry today - they were moving kit and machinery in yesterday.

Each section will be taped off for a few weeks, and they're pretty keen to keep people off it until its bedded in properly.

50acre/LW still open.

So i just managed a last blast along the old quarry trail at 7:30 this morning!

The wall trail was blocked off too this evening(just after the hole in the wall to 50 acre) although nothing has been done along that section.
