11 massive legends came out this Monday evening for a task at the History-tastic Crystal Palace Museum Water Tower. π¦π₯
We met at the Bridge House and it was lovely to have 4 fresh faces with us (Nice one for joining Sandra, Millie, Michelle & Harry πππ€π) . We discussed our favourite juices (which inspired some post-session-pub beverages...) and set off up the hill.
John was there to meet us with a large selection of tools and his mass of knowledge. We split into different sections of the tower and began making a production line which looked something like this:

After smashing through 30 minutes of scraping, yanking, shaking and bagging, we'd made another serious dent in the excavation. John then told us all about the history of the tower, why the top was knocked off and also a hint about the plans to turn it into an accessible place for the public to visit.
We jogged back down the hill and did some stretches to finish.
Amazing job team β
