Last weekend my friend Darren came down from Swindon with his ‘very’ understanding wife to help me and Sarah dig out all the silt from the wheel pit. Friday was a great fun as the pit was bone dry and the silt nice and light, so we worked for a few hours and got out around 4 cubic metres worth and thought thats enough we will do the rest tomorrow as we made good progress. Well suffice to say we should have checked out the weather forecast, as the following morning the water in the pit was nearly up over my waders, but we persevered and got another 6 cubic metres out albeit much harder work and much muckier, especially Darren as he poured a fair bit on his head.
Marlene and Sarah meanwhile were busy working out their abs lifting the tubs up to the trolley and taking the silt to be dumped in the field, beats any keep fit class, and you get a genuine welsh mud pack at the same time, luxury. Sorry no photos of the lady’s as they had the camera 🙂
Next job is clearing out the culverts, mill race and tail race as silt levels are over half way up the pipe. So any takers feel free to get in contact for a free holiday and genuine welsh mud pack.
