Belvoir 3R's Reclaimed, Recycle, Raw Sculpture Trail

Today I met Laury Dizengremel who is the Belvoir Castle & Estate Artist in-Residence, she along with other artists have during the last 2 weeks created a new sculpture trail alongside the Grantham Canal towpath, most of these sculptures you can see from NCR 15 along the Woolsthorpe- Muston railway line as they sit within the trees between the railway line and the grassed towpath.
One of the most accessible from the NCR 15 is by art student Hannah Satchwell who I met today whilst she was putting her finishing touches to her "Doors" installation.
I spoke to Laury about the group possible opening up small areas of the vegetation so the sculptures can be seen from the NCN as well, this is something we can look at doing in the near future.
The trail will be officially unveiled around the grassed towpath area near the Rutland Arms (Dirty Duck), Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir this Saturday (30 April), 14:00.
More on the trail can be seen on Laury's website here.

Harry Turfitt Peel Bench

On my way to last workday I came across a few of the Grantham Canal Society volunteers who were busy installing a new memorial bench, as it had only just been set I wasn't able to try it out but on the way back from the signing ride today I took 5 minutes to have a rest on the new seating which is located between Casthorpe Bridge and Denton Wharf on the Grantham Canal towpath. The memorial seat has been dedicated to a Harry Turfitt Peel.

Workday, Saturday 16 April

Just a reminder that the next workday will be on Saturday 16 April, starting at 11:00 and to run for no more than 2 hours. The date you should have in your diaries but I was to confirm a location, this will be at Woolsthorpe Top Lock as we will be painting the NCN milepost nearby the lock so please do meet up with me there first.
I will have paint and brushes on hand so just bring a pair of painting gloves and yourself along.

I look forward to seeing you there if your able to come.
