Last Friday was a hive of work in Queen Elizabeth Park and Wyndham Park, both as you know carry NCN 15. Riding through Queen Elizabeth Park from Manthorpe I came across contractors starting that day to clear at the northern end of the path, you may remember that in June 2012 the same contractors had resurfaced the path from Belton Lane going northwards, the work only went part of the covering about 70% of the path and the new work is carry on from there, the contractors wasn't at the time sure of how far he was going but was thinking it would be all the way to Manthorpe Road. The work will consist of them scrapping flat the old path and then re-dressing with a sand/grit based aggregate which is rolled and then hardens off.
I then carried on my journey into town along NCN 15, only then to come across lining contractors putting in the white line and pedestrian and cyclists symbols on the newly relaid path in Wyndham Park. The secret is also out off how they get a straight line.... a very long piece of rope.
