We won't get bogged down

Lloyd and Pete testing the depth of peat

No wonder the ground felt bouncy - there are over 4 metres of peat under our feet here before the clay bed is reached and we are about to build a 5 meter high viewing platform on it. The views will make it all worth while. And for those who prefer terra firma, we are providing a periscope!

Watch this space to see how we get on.
