15th November 2018: with Jonathon, Mike, Nick and Alex
Surprisingly, the sand
dig was dry and didn’t appear to have backed-up at all after the very heavy
rain last weekend. However. A seepage of water through the sediments in the
alcove had caused some slumping and work was concentrated there to tidy-up and
consolidate. The trickle of water that enters from the chamber was constant,
making the steps slippery so these were tidied up too, very sloppy spoil. The water
from the trickle is draining freely through the sandy sediment at the bottom of
the dig.
Alex and Nick shared the
digging, Mike loaded the filled buckets into the skip, Jon hauled the skip up
the slope and I emptied the buckets. The process was, of course, repeated many
times.
