Vince, Jake, Jon, and Nick
A bit of spoil heap tidying waiting for the others. Decided it wasn’t worth packing the very soggy bags on the line as there were plenty of drier bags available underground. It was a damp, miserable morning.
Underground beyond Trick or Treat it was rather squalid. Jake got on with digging assisted by Jon while me and Nick got the spoil back to the bottom of the pot. The drips appeared to get stronger as the morning progressed perhaps as surface water percolated through cracks and fissures in the rock into the cave passage(s) below.
Nick, of course, succumbed to temptation and just had to fill some bags in Can of Worms (5no. plastic). It was more of a token gesture really.
With a smaller team the bags were not getting beyond the pot so in good time it was decided to stop digging and get the spoil cleared from the cave. The rocks were left behind for another day. 60 bags were filled, hauled, and emptied onto the spoil heap this session. It was still raining and getting windy. Best head for the Hunters’ where it was warm and cosy!
