We started on the long job of constructing the Edge Strips for the Foundation Trenches. We went from the back right hand corner and went along the back section, running parallel to the Swimming Lane. This section will use two layers of the 89mm CLS timber planks on top of each other to form a 178mm high shuttering.

We cut a narrow gully to fit the bottom layer of the 89 mm timber and will add the 2nd layer when we have done everywhere first. We managed to complete in just the afternoon session since the morning was interrupted by rain, 3 segments (a total of 13.6 metres), another 4 more segments (about 16 metres) to go. It is quite hard ground and we are using manual labour to do the job, using spades and trowels!
