THE GENERAL 1,982 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 My mate had a dig on not far from the back of his house one evening when his bitch dropped into a spot in a moss bog. He went and got tools and he openly admitted after the episode that the 4ft dig he had dug to get his bitch wasn't wide enough. Anyway he broke in went head first into the narrow dig to get his bitch and couldn't get out! Thank fk for mobile phones was his words. He rang the young lad that lived on the farm down the lane and told him where he was and come quick. Said it seemed like eternity and was shit scared because he was upside down face in full view of the action and was helpless. More scared for himself mind you lol. 2 Quote Link to post
jonesy 111 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I honestly dont mind either way,sometimes its good to have someone to share the digging and stuff,but if my usual digging partner has other commitments im still out and about, Quote Link to post
TOPPER 1,809 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 normally go out as a 3 man team but I creep obout local on my tod as I know the earths and I know the shallow ones 1 Quote Link to post
dagger1 8 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I suppose its not so bad if you no your earths and you only go to the shallow ones but your nackered if it drops down to 8 foot or summat [BANNED TEXT] do you do then when your on your own Quote Link to post
man o kent 269 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I suppose its not so bad if you no your earths and you only go to the shallow ones but your nackered if it drops down to 8 foot or summat [bANNED TEXT] do you do then when your on your ownin my first season, and facing the same question myself. Since the gent I used to dig with passed away, and learning about my permo's as I go, it is a concern. One of the spots we tried marked at 15ft! There is another good lad I have been out with, but finding a time that is convenient to us both ain't easy! Good luck squire Quote Link to post
Zerky 133 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Going out on your own is never a good idea in my eyes, as we all know no matter how easy we think the earth can be things can always go wrong!! Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Digging, like lamping, as pure as it gets on your own. There's risk attached to any activity but if you know your game, keep a level head and know a good mate or two if there's a problem, then go for it..! Quote Link to post
dagger1 8 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Cheers men for your good comments bin a good help Quote Link to post
