Rain Stops Play

We haven’t posted a page like this since the storms of July 2012, but today the rain was so heavy we had to call it a day. This is a hard decision to make, so many had travelled so far (some walking out in the rain) to get to the site. All were keen to keep going. But after awhile the site just gets too mucky and the work can’t be properly done. Still, a surprising amount of work was accomplished before the co-directors threw in the towel. In trial cutting K Rosanne and Lennon came down upon the wall first revealed last year in Cuttings A/D. and serious progress was made in the larger cuttings and in the tower. Tomorrow promises the be a better day, let’s hope.
