i know mate i thaught id lost him, i was digging for about 3 hours on my own and i was getting nowhere it just kept caveing in all the time.
i dont know how deep it was the JCB had a tonne bucket and it was there for 4 hours there where over 20 lads digging, a fire crew all digging so it was a fare bit deep.
if he hadnt given voice i dont think we would have found him.
