Very unexpected.

[Mark]

Had another bash at the dig this evening, after about ten minutes the floor disappeared revealing a water worn rift with clean washed boulders.

In a small hole just below my foot in the pic, rocks clatter down for some distance.

Cant tell how big it is and daren't go into it, as the stuff above is quite loose.

Will have another crack tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Big Jim]

Is the 'stuff above' not your cottage?

 

[Mrs Trellis]

Is the 'stuff above' not your cottage?

Fair point, well made Jim.

Sat in the Lounge this evening, could hear stuff moving about  :-\

Keep the updates coming - fascinating!  Half of me is envious of you having your very own cave and the other half is glad I don't have one under the house - which I can hear from the lounge  :doubt:

Could be a new take on "armchair caving"

"Underpin Pot"

 

[crickleymal]

I don't think it's going to be called NIMBY pot!

IMBY pot surely

IMBY pot surely 

Depends how far it goes, I suppose.  :-\

 

[Peter Burgess]

Any evidence of mining and it could be "Under Mine"

Had another session with John Beck today, shifted all the loose muck from above and its fairly stable now,

Dug down in the floor and encountered some large boulders that will need some persuasion.

Really nice fluted scalloped walls and a few straw stalactites in an alcove to the West.

There is an undercut just below a big boulder in the floor and some quite large rocks disappeared through and sound to be rolling down a rubble slope for some distance.

Starting to look like a real cave now, next trip could be an exciting one

Now I'm really getting jealous

 

[bograt]

Go for it mate, houses don't matter, caves do!!

 

[maxf]

Is it on crow land ?

 

[Pegasus]

Now I'm really getting jealous

Me too....

 

[Mark]

Got rid of most of the big rock but still quite a bit left.

Can't see properly but I stuck a camera in the hole and this is what I got.

 

[Chunks]

Looking interesting and formations too!
