Solo trip. After recent persistent rain the usual drips in the cave are now mostly continuous trickles. Took the BEC drill for a trip along to the right hand side of the tube to continue the enlargement – it worked successfully – becoming quite spacious approaching the slab now. Funny how when working alone the mind drifts back to past digging trips and old mates – J’rat, Gobshite – Wigmore, Welsh’s Green, Draenen – happy days!
