Wookey Hole, Mendip

11th February 2016: with Jake, Tav, Duncan P, Keith Savory and Rich Warmbac.

While Keith and Rich went for a tour around the rest of us went to the dig site. Last weeks effort had the desired effect and there was plenty of debris that required shifting. I cleared away the loose rock and hammered off a few flakes to enable drilling while DP cleared the spoil into the skip for Jake, then Tav to dispose off in the small chamber. I slid through the next constriction to drill a hole in a boulder jammed in the rift and then another 3no. holes in the constriction, again the aim is to make spoil clearance easier. All done it was time to wire up and move out to complete the evenings work from a safe distance and a satisfactory conclusion. Hunter’s Lodge Inn for the usual de-brief session.
