At the terrace end of what will become the new summit building the first of the galvanised steelwork has been erected.

At times, the site's constricted area can make working and moving machinery around problematic, especially with several jobs going on at once. Currently as well as trying to erect steelwork, drains are having to be put-in before the last stitchers in the foundations to complete phase one can be finished and digging-out the footings for the service wing continues.
 

Looking west along the busy Hafod Eryri site. The retaining wall can clearly
be seen at the far end.

John Craven was up at the summit today, filming how the work on Hafod Eryri was progressing for the BBC Countryfile programme that goes out on Sunday mornings. The weather has been very changeable of late and while work began in cold cloud with sleet showers it finished under a cloudless blue sky.


Work on Hafod Eryri starts to come out of the ground with the first piece of
steelwork being erected.
