Entrance Terrace 4 (of 5)

This is possibly the entrance to terrace 4 (of 5) tbc. You can see down a cascade of stones to the entrance to Terrace 3. Note the large boulder on the other side of the road and the left stack and right boulder that are waypoints earlier in this track.

Roller Coaster

This was the first swathe cut through the field vertically from the bottom road by the almond tree to the top road. I called it the roller coaster because it was a series of 4 terraces each divided by a sharp drop. We now know that the terraces are approx the following widths T1: 10m T2: 6m T3: 6m T4: 4m and dropping 15m from top to bottom making the gradient approx 1 in 2

This is the final Terrace and we have just a small triangle of it, as it rapidly becomes part of the neighbour’s land. Currently there are three trellises on the plot and it gives access to the Tractor Path to the right.

This Fire Tree is on Terrace 5 at the top of the Tractor path, which is a graded track that runs along the border between our fields and the neighbours.

Flag post at limit of the Field. (TBC)

A post at the bottom road (by the Almond Tree) lines up with a Post at the top : just above Julia’s Corner; with a mid point at the top of the field on the Road running up through the farm. These 3 post are in a perfect line. Exact positions are still TBC

Top of Tractor Path

This is the Track known as the Tractor z path that runs from Terrace 5 down past T4,T3,T2,T1 to the bottom road by theAlmond Tree Rock.

End of Terrace 3

These two rocks mark the end of Terrace 3, which is possibly the largest but certainly the longest terrace of all. It starts by the bend at the Club House and runs the entire length of the field. Can be accessed by vehicle from either end as it gives to the Tractor Path

Terrace 1 viewed from the Tractor Path upwards.

This will probably be the entrance to T 1 and T2. TBC You can also see a 90mm irrigation pipe which runs from the bottom of the tractor path to the top.

Rock formation

The bottom road, on the right side, runs along the lower side of our field, made up of 5 terraces. This bottom edge is lined with massive rocks, which make up a formation of huge boulders. These are interrupted in places to allow vehicle access to Terrace 1 and Terrace 3. ATM it looks like Terrace 2 is only accessible from the far end, at the Tractor Path.
