Bit late posting this trip report, but I thought Cookie may like to read it.
Thurs 12th oct.
Went to WCC where me and joker waited for root until 9ish. He did say go on without him to Swildens, but the company was good at WCC so we waited.
9:00ish came and it was time to stop waiting. Mr and Ms farmer said we could tag along while they showed Known a dig called Templetones dig, or possibly temple dig. Lesw came too so he could demonstrate how not to get muddy
Drove into the middle of a field, parked the car and

Didn't stop laughing for the next 30 minutes as I climbed up and down this dig.
It had Dumper truck, Hydraulic lift, more ladders and platforms than a fire escape from a 5 story building. The dig was described as 8 foot long, but 150 meters deep. Yep that about sums it up.
I paid my pound and had a go at rock breaking. I can now claim they couldn't have done it with out me.
Did I mention the seven years it has taken so far?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA i :ang: :ang: :ang: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA .
Explosives have I mentioned the explosives
I am still sitting here laughing as I type this.
I have just read this in preview and am still smiling.
Must go and have a proper dig, if I'm allowed, when they are working one evening. I'll do it soon in the winter shouldn't be a problem with all the spotlights they have and the two generators. I'm not sure but they may have to use the smaller generator to start the big 38kva one. Oh had I forgotten to mention the generators.
I have probably also forgotten to mention the 4x4 pick up they use to power the hydraulic pump for the hoist. They have connected the pump to the front/rear diff box.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA i :ang: :ang: :ang: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
Rooks, clunk you have just got to see this.
Post script.
The trip was well over a month ago, and I am still laughing and smiling as I write this
