Indeed, mere amateurs there.zomjon said:Mark said:braveduck said:Formations !Arrrh .Needs a gate ! :
And tape
Behave the pair of you, we're not on Mendip
It's Derbyshire so throw a gate on it, add a lock, then arrange for the landowner to charge an entrance fee.
Finish the extension off, job done! Nice pic.

Finally made a start with digging, entrance has been modified and had a scratch about with Moose yesterday.
We put a scaffold platform in and started moving the heap from the bottom and stacking spoil on it.
Made a flopjack today, going to put that in tonight With Moose

Andy Bartle (Bartman) is going to call in the morning and have a look.
Need to keep the momentum going
Message if interested

Looking good
I have sunk a scaffold shaft, and at the end of the last session I poked through into a continuation of the rift.
I need to dig the shaft a bit deeper to get in but it looks big enough, can't see the end, nice steady draught.

Might get back in tomorrow

Actually not been in much since October, (too busy with work)
I have put a bit more scaffolding in and went in to have a look yesterday, as it was quite warm, to see if the draught had come back.
It had, and was blowing quite strong from the continuation.
All available stacking space has been used up, and I now need a team of around 4 people to empty the cave (most of the spoil is in sandbags)
1 session should see it done, and then digging can re-commence.
A few pics of current position
Entrance
Looking in
Bit further
Climb down
Climb down
Crawl to top of final shaft
Top of shaft (about 10ft deep)
Looking down shaft
Bottom of shaft
Continuation (fill almost reaches roof but good draught)
Sort of stuff coming out of dig
I need to set a date and get a team together now, anyone interested?
