After the heavy rains in the last few days, expected to find the dig flooded, so it was no surprise that it was, but it wasn't as bad as we'd expected. If it hadn't been that we've horrendous weather forecast in the next week, it would have been possible to bail out the dig within an hour or so to a point of being diggable. We decided not to and instead filled some bags to raise the ladder (need to bring spanners/wrench/angle grinder(!) to undo the bolts holding the top section of ladder on as no longer needed plus the maillons that are on the rope connected to the ladder). We also removed all rocks recently brought out and shelved at the pool to spoil heap and brought the tools up. Unless the forecast dramatically changes and we don't get the expected rain, we will give next week a miss.
