Hopefully this won't drag on, because it says they are even stopping folk walking round to the Cave!

Hey jon hows life?

I was geotech supervising scaling works.  Fall in-between Pure gold and plumbline area.  Not sure which (if any) routes below but there were some old lower offs there.  Rock generally scooted right over the top though.  Some fair dents in road and wall took a few knocks - got some good vids...

Nice trundling, I take it you didn't mean to smash the rock  :lol: It'd be good to see the vids. Do you have links?
