Just for interest, on a trip last night found two new digging tools at the squeezes and wondered if anyone had made them especially for purpose? Beginning to get cluttered there, Jason Birder's spade is still present as well as the tool Owd Git and I dragged out of Brightgate for the job!

The birthday boy is simply wanting you all to know he popped through the squeezes without 'wedging'  :tease:
happy Birthday Jon 
Fetch your fastest Hen!!!

PM sent to Jon (no offence Ric!)

We saw all those last weekend on a through-trip from the top, and wondered how long they'd been there - thankfully none were needed to get through, and the only discomfort was cold muddy water down my neck on the last flat-out portion
