Wednesday afternoon, early December, yep you guessed it folks... It was cold, and today was surveying day of the site.
This hard, freezing cold task was handed out (they volunteered really) to team members Laurence White (chief surveyor), Phil Shilton, Ben Thomas and Callum Bott (camera man).
Despite it being quite cold, the four of us surprisingly had a good time surveyor up, in particular Ben with the dist-o-meter. After a couple hours of surveying everything we needed had been recorded, and Emma, our client invited us in for a cuppa tea to warm up, which was very welcomed indeed.
We also got chance to share some ideas that had come up on our side already but also that had been running around in her head.
Just before dark started to draw in we decided to call it a day and head back to Nottingham with the data recorded and some good ideas from Emma.
Here are a few photos from the visit:
