Dave Mitchell’s Dig - Pete Hann
The dig is at Warren Farm, positioned on the high ground south east of Velvet Bottom. The entrance is in a large closed depression in the next field from Warren Farm Swallet. The dig is primarily a vertical descent through a cemented boulder choke with no solid wall for approximately 35m depth. Steady downward progress has been made over the last 3 ½ years with all the spoil being dragged to the surface and the boulders being neatly cemented in place. The cave has always draughted, spurring the diggers onward. In recent weeks it has looked more interesting with boulders enlarging with more gaps and in places clean washed. The current dig face has gaps dropping down approximately 2m. As gravel is removed then more options seem to be presenting themselves. Much to the concern of the person removing the gravel.
