Thursday's Trip - 1st August

Weather will be nice and i will be at the dig, the new one, same place, i will be taking half a day off work as i was excited last week with a small draught i need to get over there early as the amount of rain we have had may have opened it up or silted itm i there for in tend to step it down with small raised terraces with a view to holding silt at each step but allowing the water to spill over slowly.

good man mick - hopefully someone will turn up to help you. Won't be me though again i'm afraid. :-(

I'm so sorry I never made it tonight, spent more time on motorways in traffic today than I did in meetings :-(

Didn't get home until gone 8pm - though I shouldn't complain as some of us can't get home at all at the moment - Tim

I tried to contact a few of you so I hope someone got my messages x

Tim is Home.

I feel your pain with the motorways though, today i've been stuck on the M56, M6, M60, M61, M62 and M55, then to top it all off, i got radiated in a nuclear fuels plant! I now glow in the dark.

the water level in spar mine has dropped to about 30-40 ft below the  3 ladder chamber. Can't get into the lower level yet though.

Not to worry Vikki. We kind of assumed you'd got back too late to make it worth your while.

Tonight was Marty, Lotti (Go Below), Ant and myself. Marty kindly rigged up the Spar Mine for us to rejog our SRT. Ant and I went to check the water level and it has dropped a good 15-20 feet since I last visited with my Dad a few months ago. Ant took some pics of water level which I'm sure he'll post up.

Thanks again to Marty for rigging/derigging and help with SRT.
