Despite the strong winds yesterday the contractors managed to crane all the parts of the new Shooting Butts Hide into place and fit them all together. There is still a lot to do but it is already an eyecatching structure and will undoubtedly afford excellent views over both Aveley and Wennington Marshes as it peeps over the top of the old MoD mantlet bank. Hopefully it will not take too long to complete!
