Although the weather could have been kinder, work has continued apace. The obtuse angles created by the strings as they went around the turn, midway up the ascent caused a few problems. However, careful thought and the skill of Marc, our carpenter and chief designer, finally produced a continuous run on the strings, to 
which the risers could be mounted. More robust handrails protect coast path walkers from the near vertical drop to Durgan beach below, whilst anti-slip pads on the front of each riser, provides more secure footing in damp conditions.
Ten days, accounting for approximately 240 man-hours has created a much improved and safer set of steps for walkers, and has been appreciated already by locals who use this section of the coast path on a regular basis.
