This evening we had another trip to Crystal Palace Museum and Brunel's old Water Tower base. It's a pretty rad piece of structural engineering which we've been gradually excavating so it can become accessible to the public.

Rosie, Catherine and I met at the Bridge House for a lovely run through the park to meet Nick, Ian and (brand new to GG...) Meg! We also met John who'd already prepared tools ready for our archeological dig...

Catherine and Ian set to work with trowels carefully removing soil around some clay piping, Nick got to work sieving through some soil to get the twigs out and Meg and Rosie were digging out around some big tree stumps.

It was nice to have a bit of light for our evening session and we managed to get through another significant chunk of the work.

On the way back to base we did some tricep dips, press-ups and squats at Stone Penge.

Shout-out to Raleigh for the chocolate and discount codes! 🍫👅

Great stuff team! 😊
