After a heavy shower last night, it made things a little sticky first thing this morning for leading soil away from the pond. Some of the wetter soil had to be taken just a short distance away due to the conditions and the fact it was too sloppy to remain in the trailers for the journey. Once we had cleared the wet soil we continued leading it to the end of the range where it can be used at a later date. We are making good progress with the pond excavation and hope to get the majority of the work done before the end of the week.
