Microclimate — The ridge position gives Chesham Bois excellent frost drainage — north-facing pitch failures we see in Chesham valley below don't happen here, but wind uplift is measurably worse.
Site access — Bois Lane is a narrow ridge road with restricted passing places — we route scaffold lorries from the north (Chesham) rather than south to avoid meeting oncoming traffic on the ridge.
