Finishing the Conspicuous Cliffs stabilisation.

13 October 2020

Nine SVs set out from Rame Head campsite this morning on Day 1 of a four-day campaign to finish the Conspicuous Cliffs stabilisation. Clear skies and little wind made for hot hard working conditions hauling materials and equipment uphill by hand and with the aid of ‘Isadora’, our electric wheelbarrow who could easily carry 90kgs up the steep slopes.
