There’s a small network of caves in my town which were open as showcaves until the 80’s but then all shut off. The dad of my dc’s best friend is a keen caver type person and showed my dh a map of these caves which appear to go directly under our garden.
The pair of them plus 4 kids have been in the garden all weekend and managed to dig what looks like a grave. At the moment I’m leaving them to it because I’m assuming they’ll lose interest soon and they’re not actually going to find this bloody cave. The dc’s are so excited about it - convinced that they’re going to have it as the best den ever and find loads of fossils.
They won’t actually suddenly fall into a cave will they? The stuff I can find about the original caves says that they’re granite and limestone - they’re just digging through earth and a few stones at the moment. I’m assuming they would have to actually chisel away loads of rock before they hit a cave but I’m completely clueless. I really don’t care about them digging a hole in the garden but I don’t want them to actually find anything.
Would you try to stop them? Or just leave them digging? They won’t start up again until next weekend and I’m hoping they’ll have lost interest by then and I can turn their grave into a little pond.
