Mike Kushy, Mike Wise, Dave Walker, Tom Franklin. MW down the hole, MK hauling and DW taking buckets to spoil heap. TF got some photos, then he replaced MK whilst MK went rock hunting for wall rock. TF had a go at the sharp end and loads removed. A decent hole at the bottom and all agree on the presence of a draught coming out. We decided to make a mix and DW stayed on with MK to build the walls to the sides up and add drainage pipe. 4 hours. Mike.

Mike Kushy, David Morrison (Tuska) and 'Frank The Tank'. Templetwin is born. Birth was eased with use of the Kubota. 6/7ft soil and small fill, then the digger got another 7/8ft deeper. 2 boulders too large were reduced in size, courtesy of Dr Noble. The digger was then able to lift these out. Steps cut into the dirt and the site tidied up. Looking overall stable, but needs some reinforcing. Started work on fencing. Mike.
