Been a long-time project to get this ready and I'm NEARLY there.

The story so far:

It all started back in 2012 when I first arrived up at the mountains. I could see there was a perfect spot for a main gateway and a secondary one as well.

The private road was quite busy from time to time with traffic, some which would cheekily drive up the entranceway or nose about.

So with I set about getting a set of gates constructed.

This was no mean feat though as I had to use what materials were about to hand, and until 2014 didn't have access to a chainsaw unless I borrowed a friends!

So I hammered, sawed and measured as best I could and got the secondary set of gates mounted and partially ready.

The main gates were only partially done:

Then I had to leave but return I did and got working on finishing off the primary gateway. This time I had two chainsaws and experience from the first time, yet it was still a challenge. I hadn't had time to add bracers to the original gates so had to do that first!
