Eleven volunteers turned out and spend a bright sunny day digging.
We were on our own working on the drains in the parkland around Hare Hill gardens. The section we had been asked to look at had been replaced at some stage in its history with a length of yellow corrugated perforated plastic pipe. It looked as if the original drain had been damaged when this was done. The yellow pipe was brittle and had collapsed in a number of places as well as being full of sediment. We did managed to find some surviving sections of the original culvert in a couple of places under the yellow pipe. The pipe got deeper both at the top and bottom of the section we were working on and disapeared under water.
We didn't follow it all the way as we had to leave the site in a safe state at the end of the day.
