A quick word of warning to all Mendip diggers to lock up your digging equipment - some light-fingered scallywags stole the electric winch from the Gibbets Brow dig sometime in the last week (between 15th and 21st April)
If anyone local happend to see anyone or any vehicles at the dig site between those dates - it wasn't the digging  team! Obviously there is little hope of finding the culprits, but if anyone did see anything odd at the dig, could they let myself or one of the other diggers know? Ta!
Needless to say, this won't stop the digging, we'll just have to go back to the good ol' hand-winch - at least that way the surface crew won't be able to moan about being cold anymore!
