Vince, Jon, Callum, and Sam
We had a team, we had a key, so let’s go digging. Ambled up to the cave where we changed and made our way towards Land of Hope & Glory (LoH&G).
On arrival at LoH&G we made our way into the ‘Diamond Mine’ and along to the current dig site, quickly explained to Sam and Callum what we trying to achieve and let them get on with it. Me and Jon provided support and spoil removal. Sediment-filled bags were removed along the narrow passage and stacked part-way up the slope to complete their journey later in the evening.
At about 20:30 a total of 20-bags had been filled with sediment, and it has not got any bigger at the end. Sam was digging at arm’s length in a silt/sand filled crack about 100mm width with no immediate indication it was getting any bigger. The question is now, Is it worth pursuing further? Will have to ponder a while! Anyway, that was it for this evening, time to remove the spoil through Fuzzy Wuzzy into Colston Hall and emptied into Pointless Pot. Job done we made our way out of the cave. A cold night, refreshments in the tunnel!
