king 12,042 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 And just to add the cut was 60ft deep.and the 360 was taking out another cut of 25ft so that was 85/90ft of pure white chalk. And coming from the slag tips of south Wales to the land of white it was like being on the moon lol. 1 Quote Link to post
dillydog 8,530 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 What type of ground does it compare to DD? I bet it's surreal to be digging in it when it's so white. It doesn't compare to anything we'll see in our day to day lives RH. Go and have a day in it, it's a nightmare to get your head around, I'm sure someone will let you see it in the flesh 1 Quote Link to post
chilli 381 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'd rather stick to the shit I know rather than dig the white stuff 1 Quote Link to post

I bought a dog of him that had done 7 reds in one day I think 6 where bolted with one long dig lol.
