Toothache - query

In the last few months I am sure I have seen an account of the Toothache Dig being revived. Can someone get in touch about it please. All I want to do is stick a brief note about it in our newsletter, as we dug there briefly in the 1980s - no other reason. Thanks.

I've "gone to press" now, but thanks anyway. Robin was probably digging it in the early 1980s - check the Belfry Bulletin 423. I reckon I was imagining what I thought I saw. The internet plays strange tricks on the mind.

I helped Robin carry a winch up to Toothache in the early eighties and then (less than 6 months ago) Robin tried to recruit me to dig at Toothache, not sure if it was an aspiration or if he actually started to dig,

Yes there is digging going on. I helped to clear the area about six months ago. A platform has now been installed. Not sure if they are digging every week but they are digging. Hope to get up there myself sometime soon.
Robin was digging it a very long time ago.

Brian Rickwood of MNRC dug at Toothache in the 'early days' and sadly passed away yesterday.

Does anyone recall him digging there?

Paul.
