A rainy Sunday

Mary searches for the best bucket

The hole crew at work

A bit dark, gloomy and drizzly

Alan does his geology tour whilst the pumps empty the hole…
and the rain tries to fill it in again.

 

Saturday 21st February

Jack hammers rock

The crew excavate rock

Many hands turn over rock!

Jack looking at a possible fossil

John hammers a big rock

A piece of turtle

A pretty vertebra

Alan stares at the rock in the hole

Finally! A respectable backlog of rock to process.
A big thanks to everyone who carried it up the cliff.
