John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Kate Lawrence, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Scaffold not adjusted today as it was too hot. Kate and Jude down and then the bottom ladder was hauled up out of the way. One newt rehomed today as well as loads of slugs etc. Two loads of rock and 40 loads of mud then removed. Bottom ladder reinstated to let Kate and Jude out at end of session. Very hot on surface today! Probably similar work again next week. 2 hours. John.
John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Kate Lawrence, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Scaffold not adjusted again today as it was wet and slippery. Once Kate was down, the bottom ladder was hauled up out of the way. However after 3 loads up it was apparent that a second person was required at the bottom so the ladder was lowered again, Jude descended and it was removed again. One frog rehomed today as well as loads of snails etc. One slug hitched a lift out on Jude’s oversuit! 40 loads of mud. Bottom ladder reinstated to let Kate and Jude out at end of session. Heavy showers today so worked faster again! Probably same again next week. 2 hours. John.

John Cooper, Nigel Graham, Pete Hann, Kate Lawrence, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. One toad rehomed today as well as loads of slugs etc. 3 large rocks hauled out and then 40 loads of mud. Don’t think scaffold is back in optimum position yet. Needs more fettling. 2½ hours. John.
