I've been volunteering and helping to build this water wheel and it is an amazing piece of ancient technology!

Excellent news, Vindex. I hope that the weekend brings in loads of visitors. If I wasn't going to be at the Roman festival in Chester, I'd think of coming down! (Will do another time for sure.)

Nice job, Vindex. You can give me a guided tour when we're down there in July! Looks great, can't wait to see it.

Plenty of manpower needed to move the wheel...it's bloomin' heavy! Don't think the children are going to move it on their own!

All of the channels/aqueduct should be finished by July too mpoole, so should be looking very good!

That's really cool. I love stuff like that water wheel. Take lots of pictures!
