The point was to hopefully curb the amount of erosion and prevent cars from eroding the whole mound. SACL were certainly aware of the spotting weekend coming up and the history of bogged cars in the soft areas, as well as the shoulders of the road wearing away hence the fence along the top road near the Control Tower.
With any luck, more new fencing will be installed to help encourage grass growth to stabilise the area.
I should add, if more fencing is put up to isolate certain areas, then it will ultimately be up to you spotters (not as individuals, but collectively) to help preserve the fence and encourage some grass regrowth. It is you who will benefit from having a grassy, stable mound from which to view from. If that means short term inconvenience to your favourite position, then tolerate it without fuss.
And lastly, not being directed at any one person, stop being so damn negative when you see activities occurring around your favourite haunts. Sometimes there are actually people out there who
are trying to help you, but some of you get all too caught up in you own selfish wants and can't see the positives. Be thankful for what you've already got and treat it with respect...it might just hang around for a little while longer!
