Thanks to everyone who turned out today to help with setting up the site for our month-long Spring Dig at Colemore. Because of the number of people who arrived we had the site grid set up quickly; the marquee and finds tent erected; the storage tent assembled (after a half-hour of trying to work out how the poles fitted together) and the site fenced off.
The only problems really today were a reluctance of the generator to start (which delayed the tea break slightly) and the hardness of the soil causing problems for the mini-digger - so we will cut and pile up the turf first thing tomorrow instead.
