For some reason Alan and Tony felt it safe to leave the tree felling to the three oldest Venture Scouts. Nobody else from 3rd G.P was informed that work would start on this day, so nobody else would get in the way. Jeremy Jackson (Left), Andrew Lannin (On the right) and Mark Hutton (camera) were simply told to clear as much vegetation from the site as possible and leave it stacked on the grass in front of the Venture Room.
Prior to there arrival with the Chain saw, the only work that had been done on site was the digging of an exploratory foundation by Tony, which was subsequently filled in and the marking of certain levels. |
