With Alex. Spent the early part of the morning on a runaround before meeting up with Alex at the Belfry where we were soon on our way to Hallowe’en Rift. Got changed at the farm Alex into his damp and muddy kit from last evening, me, smug in nice dry and clean spare kit. Carried on with the enlargement task along the right hand side of Toil and Trouble, eventually returning to the surface a bit later than anticipated although still managed to drop into the Hunter’s before lunchtime last orders.

The biggest part of Sunday morning was spent washing and cleaning a pile of kit and equipment.

With Alex. Digging trip on a Friday night whatever next – been quite a while since we got up to that.

After a cold, rainy day spent digging and recording archaeological evaluation trenches on a site in Devon, on the way home grabbed a supper of fish and chips to eat on the way in Cheddar Gorge, it was then time to meet up with Alex at the Belfry and set off for Hallowe’en Rift. Started the task of enlarging the right hand side of Toil and Trouble to enable access to the [possible] open space seen on previous trips.

After a suitable time spent digging decided to call it a day and head off to the Hunter’s for a Friday night of socialising!
