We began the day with a nice hike to the Grotto with the aim of finding a new site. At the Grotto we were met with a lovely view of the River Avon but unfortunately, no stream or pond. Following this disappointment, we decided to go back to the main tufa cascade site.
After taking measurements from the main and upper stream to show the difference between Monday’s readings, we walked further down from the lower pond site to another stream ( David even spotted a deer on the way!) and collected some more water sample data.
In the afternoon we walked along the main path and scouted a new site near to David’s pipe, amongst the area of thick conifers. We continued past the path intersection with the green pond, to find another stream from which we collected water samples and probe data along different points until its source from a hillside pipe.
After collecting green pond data and samples we packed up our equipment and called it a day.
