EID 2018

Eid 2018

This year we completed another 20 arches for EID working over 3 days. Again we were not sure if EID may land on Thursday 14th June so we had to make all 20 arches on the 13th.

Note to self for next year – 3 crew made 10 arches in 2 hours once all the bases & poles had been prepped.

I had 3 x G20 Nitrogen cylinders as backup incase the generator failed – we made half the arches using these cylinders.
