MOLE265 792 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Zilverhaze Sorry mole not looked in on this thread for ages can't remember now like but ied say around the 2 meter they al seem to be between 2 and 2.5 Not a problem Zilverhaze the reason for the question it maybe the photo but looking at the hole it just looks tight for working in. Not knit picking or anything it's just something I've noticed with some of the photos of digs that some of the guys have put up. Atb. Quote Link to post
Zilverhaze 1,627 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yea I no what you mean mate a lot of my holes are a little on the skinny side always long enough for my spade to lay flat length ways so I can get the dirt out over the edge and width I do as skinny as I can get away with simply to save myself digging big pits on my tod hard graft doin it alone mate kills me off lol but I agree bigger is better Quote Link to post
