At 7.15 am this morning, most of the trench members from 12B were recruited to 12A to help maneuver the bipod. What is a bipod you ask? It is a contraption made on site by our engineer Anthony designed to lift extremely heavy rocks from a trench using minimal effort. It looks like a triangle with two metal sides and rope as the third side connecting the metal poles together. More ropes come out of the top like a maypole. Very festive were it not for the sweaty dirty volunteers operating it – they lacked the required ribbons and curly hair.
Enough silliness, back to its operation:
Our strong men Harry, Harry and Anthony heaved the rocks out of the pit-trench and everyone else helped swing it to land in a coordinated tug-of-war. As the sun rose over the trees I couldn’t help but imagine in times past that much of our site was built in a similar way.
The long weekend has started and a bunch of us are off to Nicosia for two exciting days!
Wish us luck!
