Course maintenance (Feb.4, 2024)
After work was postponed due to rain, the first maintenance activity of the year was the installation and maintenance of guideposts in the Toriage Pass and Mt,Sekison areas.
It is a cold morning, but this is the first maintenance activity of the year, so we have a thorough meeting and begin the work. | A short stop at a spot with a great view. The clear air allows you to see far into the distance. |
In this work, we will also install road signs. First, we will clean and trim the surrounding vegetation. | After trimming, a suitable hole is dug without waste, using specialized tools as well. |
After excavation, the road markings are positioned by checking them with a level or similar device, taking into consideration ease of viewing and safety. | Once the location is determined, the guideposts are carefully buried with crushed stones and soil. |
Once dug up, a hammer is used to apply firm pressure to stabilize it. | By taking the time and effort to perform the various steps in the process, a solid wayfinding system can be established. |
During this activity, trail maintenance was also carried out at the same time. | The road is really pleasant after maintenance. |
The ability to view this great ocean even while trekking is another unique aspect of the Hitachi-no-Kuni Long Trail. | Many people attended, including first-time participants. Thank you very much for your participation. |
