Day 20 -Sod’s Law!

With the few survivors left to tackle what was left behind from Friday, we finished off backfilling and took down the fences. Trench 1 now looks like its former self and with the fences taken down it looks like no one was ever there…well apart from the fresh soil! The weather, being glorious for the past three weeks decided to see the group off by showering us in rain and giving a rather vocal display of thunder. This will be the last you will hear from us students this year…until next time (fingers crossed).

Day19 -Pubbage!!

Continuing our efforts from Thursday we again took on the task of backfilling Trench 1, given the hot weather it was stupidly hard work but everyone managed to struggle through to the end. Sven arrived slightly later than everyone else having picked up a gigantic van (big enough to carry at least one elephant!). When the tools were loaded into the back of the giant van and taken back to the office the end of the dig was almost in sight. Unfortunately we did not have the time to take down the fencing, which will have to be finished off on Monday, due to lack of manpower. Now though we are off to the pub for some hard-earned pints!
