Looking forward to the next 1.5m. Great report. Thanks for the post.

Trust that you surveyed the 1.5m extension. ;)

I used a screw top container similar to these for many years...

Petzl type. I still have a few just like it.

Good luck with dig. As you say, its been a long time coming.

Draenen has multiple entrances anyway.

Very well done getting all those bags of rubbish out.

The slot is too narrow lower down, so exiting from Man in the Roof you have to emerge at the higher level from the slot using the rope for assistance to maintain height until you can swing your legs down. And for an extra point, who was the Man in the Roof?

Thanks for the update. Digging looks similar to Trident, lots of loose sand. Anyone been back to the end of Trident to reassess digging potential? The alignment with Starbar is intriguing.

“impossible hairpin junction” !! Used to be my favourite route :) Simple two point turn in most cars. Not advised for minibuses though.

Great work. Good to hear that progress is continuing.

Is this the same Andy?
