John Cooper, Pete Hann, Kate Lawrence, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Slump at the upstream end of the rift meant the spoil at the bottom was very wet and heavy. Dug into the rift to help stabilise.  40 loads of spoil transferred into 1 bigger bucket and then another 12 left for Kate to empty. Will need to do some walling to prevent recurrence. I think it was 8 frogs and 1 newt rehomed today. 2 hours. John.
