Four of us visited Hayfield today for a day's drainage unblocking with rangers Shane and Myles. Unusually we didn't have an official worksite leader (Sue had to be elsewhere) but the rangers were happy for the day to go ahead and we worked under their supervision. Neil collected the spades from the toolstore on his way over and picked up the Lemon Drizzle cake that Sue had made!
One drain was so badly blocked that after twice digging through three feet of soil it was decided to bring in a digger to excavate the drain. We cleared four drains and also on the road down we cleared six of the run offs to stop water cascading down the road taking the stone and gravel with it.
