Great! The club has said the third and final section of arch goes up today or Sunday so we'll get to see it.

 

[Everest]

And as long as I get some prior warning, I'll be there again.

The crane has let go of the arch, space has been cleared by the last section.

Do I put the ladder in the car ready?

Go Go Go

It's a lengthy process getting it ready.

The chains have to be attached - as far as I can see the lifting bar is still round the wrong way.
The counterweights have to be loaded.
The arch has to be unbolted from the supports on the containers.
JS and I have to get there!

Any chance of a couple of shots from behind the east stand once the last piece of arch is in place?

 

[Everest]

Will do algie.
I was gonna go round that way. It's getting increasingly difficult to find a decent viewpoint now.

Nice one Everest....Thankyou. First noticed that saw on the 21st* and it may have been there long before then. Sawgate, when will it move?

Its still in the same position

 

[Everest]

They're just reattaching the lifting chains in the right place.

 

[Everest]

No lift today.
It should all happen tomorrow now, as long as the weather clears after the forecast morning rain.

[Everest]

Just about to load the car ready to shoot over there.
The big crane is on the move.
