ECTX 0-25cm DF, 25-28cm MFcr, 28-40 PP. Pit location In protected NE NTL terrain. In wind exposed areas there was occasional drifting and scouring. Cracking occurred in some of these areas on top of the MFc. When we left the lake around noon the next wave of the storm rolled in so this will all be buried soon!
