Hi Fi,
I have a mostly unlimited supply of plastic lined Hessian sacks that will be ideal for your needs (I 'spect)
I think the ones in the shed at the Wessex are the same type.
I also have lots of 10 gallon plastic drums of the type used for manufacturing digging skips.  (y)

I will be at the Wessex at about 7 - 7:30 on Thursday evening if you are around  ;)

We have hundreds of bags. Resonably heavy duty. You are most welcome to some if you would like them. They used them at Gibbets, so they can withstand cave digging. We use them are Templeton sometimes to deal with the inordinate amount of slop we produce!

We can drop them in at the Wessex, SMCC or BEC no problem next time we are up that way (tonight!) Or see you in the Hunter's later?

Hi Fi.
Elaine and I will be passing Cain Hill Shaft on our way to Templeton tonight - there's usually someone topside, so we'll drop them of there if that's ok.

How many do you want? We bundle them up in 50's, so will drop off 100 unless we hear different. Currently generating around 100 per month so supplies are good!  (y)

:DHi Elain and all the others that donated bags to cain hill . They have been great . The dig is looking excellent and the connection over the past week has been made huge for the passage of bags . now with this new connection the effot  of getting the bags out from the main dig is very much eaiser . just another couple of nights work and all the bags will be out from the back part of the cave through the new  connection .

The new fan and pipe system  is a great help with the CO2 much cleaner air .

Excellent suff Mad Fi
