Seven on the boat, we set off at 9.45am in an effort to beat the rain. We picked K up at Millmead on the way through, it’s nice to see him back on the boat.
No engine trouble was encountered today; we arrived at the Riverside Nature Reserve and set to work repairing the next dog hole, A in waders and the rest of us sourcing suitable stakes and binders.
A tipper truck turned up and delivered a load more aggregate along the pathway but the hole is still to be filled with earth. We have left some stakes for the next hole among the trees bordering the path.
Overall we missed the worst of the rain and everyone worked well with a good job done.
