A trip up the hills of Richmond for us last night, to build the foundations for a new horse trough at Petersham Common as part of 'Britain in Bloom'. Starting with a steady climb up over 2km, the running group arrived with task master Ken who had already dug a suitably sized hole and lined it.

How deep is your trough?

The group set to work emptying bags of MOT gravel into the hole which is a physical task given the size and weight of the bags. Meanwhile three people took on the task of reducing the mound behind the trough location to make it more level: shovelling is always a sweaty one!

I'm going to level with you...

After filling the hole with gravel, bags of sand were added on top that could be levelled out with a very large spirit level to lay the slabs on top. Overall a good bit of hard work for everyone and some active strength work that does good for the area. A final run back down the hill and into Richmond Town Centre finished off the evening well.

Why do you conceal your connections to lie in order to take more money from paying donators? Looking at your other schemes I shouldn't be surprised.
