New digs in Assynt

[mrodoc]

Two new digs started during the latest Mendip Migration plus the usual tons of rubble excavated from Rana Hole (now over 30 metres deep).  One dig is 3 G's situated in the flood overflow basin from the main Claonaite sink (400 metres in a straight line from Claonaite entrance). It's in solid rock and easy digging. Length 3 metres at present.

Just beyond the connection to upstream Anus we have pushed up into a draughting choke with a stream audible. Another easy dig previously ignored as thought to go to the surface.

Wall to wall sun for a week - incredible. Everybody has suntans.

Nice one.  The mound of spoil by Rana Hole will soon be the first spoil heap to attain "Munro" status...

It sticks out like a sore thumb on the hillside so will the calling in the Knights who 'Ni' to put in a split level shrubbery.

So did the "Tri"cycle winch make an appearance then.

Yes it's up and running (pedalling) nicely. sort of a static tour de sutherland.  Plus a very neat monorail at the top which automatically tips the kibbles into a wheelbarrow.

Too many to count now!  The news will soon be out. Happy New Year everybody.

JRat mentioned they were driving up on Christmas Day as it was a good motorway travelling day. Sounds wise. 9hrs, apparently.
