Andrew came over to survey the cave we’ve found since the 2016 survey around our digging session. We completed this promptly around the others digging and we have gained approx. 25m since then – it is 30m total to the rock at the start of the railway. Dave started at the dig, the water levels were the same as last week, about 6inches of water in the floor and easy enough to dig the face ahead and the spoil is easy digging varying clays, mud, etc. – it’s so much easier to haul the skipnow the hole in the floor has been filled and the top lined with spoil bags. Mike and Jon had their goes at digging and then we all headed to the pub. Have a feeling the forecasted weather may flood the dig, but we’ll see if it is as bad as forecast!
