Arrived to find Mark had dropped off 3x 1 tonne bags ready for digging, but was unable to stay himself tonight and dig. The rest of us started digging in the bigger hole filling the 1 tonne bags and also removing some rocks and wood debris from the slightly smaller hole next to that one that we'd not touched to date. Kevin had left us access to the digger, so Mike lifted the first one out and didn't quite get the accuracy to perfection and caught the bag on the side putting a tear into it. Kevin popped over to watch and chat and we continued filling, doing a total of 6 bags. Mike's accuracy got much better after the first one and he successfully avoided touching the side again with the bags! Spoil is quite clay filled and claggy, but thankfully not as wet as it had got to last year. Few rocks removed as well.
Hopefully we'll have a bigger team for next Monday to make it easier to dig more than one hole at a time. We need to bring over some krabs, slings and more tools, only 2 spades and a pick there at present.
