For the second time in a month we have had a sink hole open up in the farmyard. It's a legacy of old mine workings many of which are unrecorded. Often although the opening may not be very big, the hole can be many feet deep and wide underneath. They always open up after long periods of wet weather. This time I was driving through the passage way in the JCB telehandler and felt the back wheel sink. Fortunately this time I was able to drive it out but many years ago we had a combine drop in and it had to be lifted out with a crane!
