But it was in the stream and the bank in the foreground was (oddly) very wet, so full equipment was indicated. Pole to lean on. Various lengths of rope to provide a tether to the nearest convenient tree. Brush to clean recovered trolley. And last but not least, the brand new grappling hook fashioned from an ancient poker, possibly from FIL's house in Devon.
Tied onto a short length of rope, the grappling hook worked very well, far better than climbing down into the stream or fishing about with a bit of rope and the litter picker, which last being what I did on the last occasion. Now contemplating the trolley challenge after all.
