TCV Edinburgh committed themselves to yet another two days at the Hermitage of Braid last week. Continuing their phenomenal work on the extensive drainage system laid down a week before. Sadly, the team was no longer lead by VO Rob and rookies David and Richard had to step up to the mark .Luckily, expertise from Alan and hard graft from the boys allowed for a very successful couple of days. Despite some truly biblical rain on Thursday the team pushed on and utilised the manic floods to test the vast spider web of expert trenches weaving before them. Yet another blow was struck to the team when a demonic hell hound surged forth from the very depths of Hades lair, its burning eyes fixed upon the only thing still pure in the world. Before the boys realised what was going on it was too late. At least five delicious, toffee filled biscuits were consumed. Richard shed a tear while David screamed bloody murder. Could this demoralise TCV Edinburgh? No, not even if the devil wolf had eaten the entire box could these guys be slowed down. Straight back to work, digging ditches like it was going out fashion. By the time three o’clock had rolled round the soggy team had constructed a drainage system that would have made even the teenage mutant hero turtles proud.
Thanks boys, it was pleasure.
TCV Edinburgh.
