Doug and Mark spent an hour walking the 'bomb craters' with the very amiable Duncan Massey of Swallet Farm. He was very keen for MCG to dig Battery Swallet again (an old MCG dig in the 1980's), in a basically untapped area between Wigmore and Lamb Leer, with great potential

The cave lies on the Wookey Brothers' land and they agreed to MCG having another go with the proviso that before we did anything, we were to erect a proper barbed wire fence. A few more strengthening posts and a stile are required. We have to also maintain the fence

Doug and Mark cleared a lot of vegetation from around and above the cave. The next step will be to dig the pit back in layers and build a scaffold and mesh cage to hold it all back, before we can clear the entrance and start digging. They had a squirm inside and a thrutch into Vee Swallet and both look good prospects
