Wookey Hole, Mendip

25th May 2017: with Roz, Brockers, Jake, Nick (and Duncan).

Duncan went to Edmonds Chamber to retrieve his rope, the rest of us went digging.

Inspired by Jake’s attire last week, I too, went for a more minimalist approach, T shirt and over-shorts with a pair of Ron Hill’s, still I was warm.

Brockers put in a sterling digging effort, aided by Nick, who was lowering the step-down as Brockers got ever deeper.

It was my job to load the buckets filled with sediment into the skip, Roz and Jake hauled the skip away and managed the spoil dispersal.

At the end of the session, the hole was deeper and boulders had been encountered, the finer sediment had, also become more granular. What does it mean? Keep digging and find out, I guess!
