2hrs
went to have a look at the state of the water levels and see what
maintenance we need to do also. There has been some collapse at the hedge end
of the shaft and also under the opposite end, including one end of the washing
line being ripped out, including it's rock that it was bolted to. We took a
look in the dig and it was about 10m from the end and possible to see the end
wall. There was a dead baby rabbit in the water, which we removed. There is a
lot of mud washed/slumped in from where it's been flooded and the steps are
pretty much gone, so we do need to do quite a bit of clearing. Looked in the
other dig and that has also slumped quite a bit, found another baby rabbit dead
in the water there. Removed that too and also there was one near the entrance to
the main dig dead. Removed 10 toads and 2 newts with an additional newt from
the stempled hole. With the washing line down, we collected the bags up and
those that were clean are bagged up ready for use. Those still dirty put back
on the other ladder and remaining section of line. Where the collapse by the
hedge end is, we dug the ladder out and also the two skips that had been buried
by it. One is trash and the other may be of use. Also did some wall building
with the additional rock that had come down. Decision made that next week we'll
remove the aerial runway and replace it with the railway Stu made ages back.
