We come r explore r Find a hole with a missing door up near the top of the hill (W of UPHF tree) There's another new (small?) hole just above it.

Watched the UPHF tree - lots of birds into the E Facing (hi) hole. 26 Mar Bugger all! Bloody hell! Fucking A!' I get there r Find out the door is completely grown over - and the hammer I have is so worthless the head comes loose when you use it as a hatchet. So I tear the hell out at the door (the lower - they're 2) r Finally get it open, set the ambush, get down r set... by 18:30 (too damn late).
