As part of the workday on 15th August 2009, we set up a base to contain the fires we have (either for excess woody waste when dealing with Bramble pruning annually, for the November Bonfire meetings, and perhaps for cooking over an open fire at some of the workdays).

The old pavement risers that we had previously reclaimed and used as the base of the first greenhouse on site now have a new lease of life, as the surrounds to the Firepit.

After approximate measurements, and much digging of memories for far distant geometry  lessons searching for the dimensions of a perfect octagon,  Andy popped home to get the Ancient Egyptian technology, and progress got much faster.
