Fence repair works are now complete along N & E boundaries (for this season) and the Hampshire gate above Ibsley silt pond has been reinstalled. The shoreline is now compartmentalised into 3 areas highlighted blue (west), yellow (north) and green (east) on the attached map. Access points are highlighted purple.
The ponies have been moved to the eastern compartment (after stalling for 20 minutes where they were having a chinwag with the neighhhbouring horses) and will stay there for a few weeks. The best access point to check the ponies now is via the Hampshire gates next to Goosander hide (eastern purple blob). Be mindful walking through here as the sand martin wall is still in use. If you don't have the correct keys (federal and ASEC) to get through the gates, let Pete know and he will sort you out.
On a side note, the Mockbeggar Drove gate is accessible once again for pony checks (north-west purple blob on the map) which will be useful later in the season when we move the ponies into the northern compartment.
