Up it goes (much heavier than you would think!)for washing

Mr Belly gives the batting end carpet a blasting

Now cleaned (many thanks to Paul for his back-breaking work scraping away moss and grass roots!) and drying out on a bed of old net poles!

Dig for Victory!

A raking of the excess by Tom while Martin helps levelling out the surface...

More levelling out of the surface ...

Now Nick compacts it.... repeat above steps a few times to get level and solid surface.

If I had a hammer....

Heave!!! Getting the mat nice and taut.

Compare and contrast the two batting ends!

A job well done - probably would have a cost a grand to have got it done commercially!

A final pose. Many thanks to all that helped:- Don, Nick, Martin, Ian, Paul, Tom, Phil Y and Neil Y.
