Hi folks,

Please say if you can help.

This weeks trip is to Doug's dig so further progress can be made to make a clear enterance past the collapse.

Please let us know if you are able to help or you wish to go elsewhere.

Unfortunately, I am on nights this week so will not be out.
I won't be out again this week. I am at my mother's to spend time with family.
Won't be able to make it this week. I'll see you again in two weeks time.
Murf has cancelled the smoke test as per his thread.
Not sure what a smoke test is but sounds cool, if it's not on I will head over to Doug's.
went over to Dougs and offered to go down the tunnel in my chest waders after i hours digging and lowering the water levels by 1 ft it was,nt long after i stared to get cold and guess what my waders had taken in water, made a hasty retreat and went home as i never had a change of cloths while shivering in my car with a 20 mile hike i kept asking myself what the f..k am i doing this at my age in life and the light at the end of the tunnel is not an on coming train its a f..king rush of ice cold water .Mick
Mick, next time you buy a new car, get one with an engine and a heater, then you wouldn't have to shiver for 20 miles while hiking with a car on your back - Just a thought :huh:
I recomend a new set of waders
