We have measured everything up properly now - from the ledge
(allowing nothing above for safety!), the depth is 7.02m to the rocks on the
floor the existing ladder is now resting on. The WP ladder is 2.37m + 3.79m =
6.15m (to the holes, so this will be the actual joined length). It's width is
27cm to the outside edges. We need to locate a 1-2m section of steel ladder
from another location or if someone has a section spare – putting the feelers
out around club/diggers forums to see if anything is available. We’re thinking
that we would gradually fill in that side of the pit for safety as we’re seeing
more and more loose rocks at the top now from ‘weathering’ and it does solve
the spoil dumping issue for quite some time. The idea then being that we’d
raise/shorten the ladder as required (so the section can be a loan for a short period of time!), but looking to
wire/chain/bolt it at the top to fix it securely and also put a bit more safety
around the top for getting onto it.
