Last week Duncan, Mike and Jon filled a lot of bags from the dig and stashed them as only the 3 of them, so first job was to get them out. Duncan’s bags were massive and I think he may have learned he will lose friends (to a hernia if nothing else!) if he overfills bags again! They need to be smaller and more ‘rugby ball’ shaped rather than massive footballs to make it easier for emptying. Once emptied, digging and hauling out commenced. Estelle did all the digging tonight as we didn’t start digging until a bit later. We must be a good 10m down the slope at least now and there is a water worn channel in the floor and still getting mini-avens above. 2 large rocks removed from right hand shelf tonight as well. Usual quality of random coloured and textured spoil coming out.
