I managed to catch
Walter, yesterday evening, just after the wheelbarrow had been parked in its stable, for the night.
Five months on from launch, the
B4SH user-base has been steadily increasing, as advertisements and word-of-mouth spread the news. The area serviced is gradually expanding out from the initial launch site, at the
Albury Estate, as fast as the volunteers are able to do so.
I understand that the wheelbarrow has now been equipped with an OTDR and words such as "bad splice", "back-scatter" & "insertion loss" have occasionally been heard when the device is used.
Rumour has it that
Mrs. W wonders why
Walter could not have chosen a cleaner retirement hobby - such as stamp collecting - rather than that which involves muddy trenches, joint chambers and crawling through undergrowth.
