Nightmare Dig


Recommended Posts

Went to a spot were normaly they ping out of but not this time, in goes bitch nets on and sit back.watching what's happend on bellman bitch is all over with quarry. 30 mins goes by and we get a mark of 8ft. So shovel in and never seen out like it running sand. Got down 7ft and it fills up about 4ft again bit of a panic in mine and my pals face but wat can u do bottom it out again and another 2-3ft drops in again more panic and worry for the bitch, bottom out again and the last bit we just took out real slow and steady broke thru and bitch poked her head out grabbed her straight back on the coupling we sat back and waited for quarry to bolt but we herd the sand collapse again and filled it by about 5ft. Not the best end but just happy to get bitch back. Wobt be working them sand earths again in a hurry.

You need to dig the back of the hole level with the front at least as far back as the spoil needs to go .Do this before you start and in conjuntion with a bigger hole youll be ok .Also we like to put a step in it at that depth .Dont allow anyone to walk around the edges either .Sounds a fuss but we dig it all the time here with the added two layers of stone we have locally to contend with .Saying all that you did the right thing to lift bitch when you did .

I know what your saying pal we did step it but that was falling away under your feet. we dig quiet abit of sand down Cheshire and it holds up well but that stuff was just like sand on a beach horrible

Fella I went out with a few times died in a sand hole in Cheshire after a cave in.
