The drilling team hope to finish their work by early to mid next week. Today the first hole has reached a depth of 80 metres, only another 20 to go.

Until this week, we have been extremely fortunate with the weather, but the puddles in this photo taken yesterday show the rain that had fallen, this doesn’t include today’s deluge.
Martin C has sent in a video of the drilling – what a drenching!!
Martin has created his own “channel” at YouTube and by clicking here you can view thumbnails of all his videos. By using the icons just below the video clip you can alter the volume and watch in full screen size.



After this video why not click on the You tube logo and see the various videos of the different drilling techniques available and see how it works – fascinating.
Is there the beginning of a trend in Video clips at here at PARWICH.ORG?
Mike was hit by quite an impressive jet from his water bottle on the Plinth in Trafalgar Square, when it was squashed by the platform to take him down.
And now Martin gets showered by the borehole drill.
