Vince, Nick and Jake
Well, it’s been quite a while but we’re here again after talking about it too long and not getting it together! A new procedure – checked in (and out after our trip) at the Hotel reception before walking up to the cave entrance.
The main purpose of this trip was to clear away more of the accumulated digging paraphernalia from Land of Hope & Glory. Took in some empty tackle bags just in case. A steady trip to L0H&G with plenty of banter along the way. Quick check in Colston Hall for any tools left there (to be collected on the way out) and onwards to the ‘diamond mine’ dig. Once we arrived at the end the question was posed – Have we really finished here? Do we need to leave some tools, just in case? After some discussion, it was decided there was more to do, we will leave some tools, and we’ll be back next week to continue digging! Tools and other items not required were removed.
A quick recce around the rest of LoH&G collecting the remaining tools left in various locations before returning to Fuzzy Wuzzy to pack bags and carry some of the larger items out of the cave.
A slower trip out as there was quite a lot of stuff to pass up climbs and through constrictions. It is always a warm trip. Back at the entrance to change, and as is our habit, enjoyed some refreshments there in the fading evening light. It had been a good trip.
