A new dig ?
This is Mendip. If it was easy it would have been done years ago. We are the most experienced cave diggers in the UK . Peter and I have been cave digging for over 60 years. Others in the team similiar. OK that does not make us safer but we always seem to find an answer to the problem. Nigel is back with us. He has a great technical background in engineering. This dig has great potential. Over half a mile of limestone going south, east and west. At the right level OD to correspond with fossil systems at the quarry like Fairy Cave. At a centre point in the original catchment if my theory regarding that is right. Time is the essence now as we are fading. I am 78 this year. Each session has a toll. Luckily the trip into the dig is short. We have loads of room for rock disposal ( a typical Mendip issue ) . A good draught and an easy run to get stuff out. Ultimately what does it matter any more ? I dont care if we find anything or not. I have had my luck with that over the years. Its my trip to the gym. My social life with friends and yes still to dream just a bit.
